Cap-Haitien

Well hello everyone!  As promised we went dark, but fortunately the internet is working just well enough to try to share our adventures here in Cap!  We hope everyone is doing well wherever they are.  Jehovah has definitely taken amazing care of us our entire trip, but especially once we arrived in Cap.  We've had a few bumps this month, but it looks like everything is looking quite peachy now.

Anyways, back to the good stuff! :) Cap-Haitien is the second largest city in Haiti, and quite different from Port-au-Prince area.  As a lovely sister visiting from France so perfectly described it, there is a certain ambience here (and for our English speakers tuning in, that essentially means there is a certain vibe here.)  The pace is slightly (and only ever so slightly) slower, the language and accents a little different, the style of the city different, and oh, the ocean breeze a wonderful difference.

There are four missionary couples that are now assigned to Cap, and as we mentioned, we had the privilege of staying with them in their beautiful missionary home.  The missionary home and where we are staying now is in a territory just outside of Cap-Haitien proper.  Service has of course been excellent, as the company of our brothers and sisters here in Haiti.  The congregation we are visiting is Imperial, with 120ish publishers and an average meeting attendance of 240.  I'm sure you can all see the potential just in those numbers!

Alright, alright, enough talking, on to the good stuff: the pictures.

On the Boulevard, across the street from an oceanfront Kingdom Hall!

Enjoying a nice lunch with Jules and Sabrina, 15-year missionaries
and our new family. We love them so much. I think we were all separated at birth.

A tap tap loaded down with banane yo (plantains).

Adorable kids making breakfast and clearly one
of the little girls was excited to pose for the camera.

How come nobody told us that we would all become
mountain goats while out in service?!

Our brother and sister discussing a Bible verse with a householder.

The territory with a lovely view of the Caribbean.

FINALLY!!! Adam got t go surfing and make good use
of his troublesome surfboard - worth the hassle of course!

Sabrina is a rock star at the market. Watching her negotiate
has been the highlight of our trip - well other than the amazing
experiences we've enjoyed in service... :)

Jules with his butcher.
Jules loves his butcher - look at that smile!

Welcome to the meat section of your local Safeway.

Dinner!!!!

Adam barbequing the beef filets we bought from
the cow leg in the picture above. So delish!!! 

We've been having the best time here in Cap, and are excited to show our pictures from visiting Labadee! We send you all huge hugs and can't wait to share more!
