My local community here in Port au Prince is an interesting
group of six women. There are three professed Sisters and three Haitian college
students. We range in age from 22 to 74 and represent three countries. Some
days I feel as though I live in the tower of Babel as English, Spanish, French,
& Creole are all spoken here! Sister Vivian, RJM (USA) has been in Haiti
for 14 years. Sister Isabel, RJM (Spain) has been in Haiti about 4 years having
been missioned for over a decade in Africa before coming here. Middia and
Claunette are studying school administration. Darleen is studying nursing. As
you can imagine, our schedules are quite varied. Still, each day we manage to have
morning and evening prayer together and share at least one meal. Many evenings
you can find us all playing Uno in the community room. The sounds that emanate from
our house are the singing of French and Creole and the laughter.
