The Love of the Haitian People

I'm learning so much about love this week.  The Haitian people are so loving and accepting.  The first night that I was here, the Madames told me that they all loved me because I like to laugh.  (Through a translator, of course.)  Since then I have learned the Creole words for I love you, and I hear and say them many times during the day.  I have also learned the word for "so much," and I am often told, "Mwen remen ou apil apil apil!"  Translated, "I love you so much, so much, so much."  What a blessing.  These people barely know me, yet they are so free and genuine in expressing their love for me.  I want to learn from that!
Last night my Creole lesson time was a little different.  Instead of learning a lot of new words, I wrote notes to many of the ladies and girls--in Creole!  I don't know much, but I knew enough to write 3-5 sentences.  They loved it, and when one of them wrote me one back it blessed my heart so much!  I will treasure that note.
