Hi,
I hope all my
friends had a great Thanksgiving!
The week prior to
Wendy’s leave for Haiti on November 15 to 23, we went to Wal-Mart
to buy some gifts to my mother in Haiti, including an electrical iron
and ironing board and other little materials for the kitchen. Though
I was able to stay in touch with my family and friends in Hinche by
phone, it was very nice for Wendy to take a video of me to show to my
mom in Hinche so she could have a better idea of my life here in
there US. That week Greg ( Wendy’s husband) took me to school every
day, and he also took me to DR Smarth, who is a Haitian doctor
working in Inova hospital in Sterling. Wendy had already made an
appointment for me before she went to Haiti. I had some blood work
done, then one week after DR Smarth called to let us know the
result of my tests:everything was normal with me (Happy !!!!!)
November 23, Wendy
came back from Haiti, with some Prestige (Haitian beer) that my
mother sent me with other items, and also a video of Wendy, my
mother, and other family members together in my home in Haiti!!!
My First
Thanksgiving in the US
I had a great
Thanksgiving with the Dotson’s family including Wendy’s sisters
and sons. It was also nice to have a chance to meet one of Wendy’s
sisters ( Judy) for the first time during the Thanksgiving. We had a
fun time together; we did a White Elephant gift exchange...I got
chocolate pretzels. Then we had a big meal with lots of turkey and
wine. It was really a wonderful time for me here!!!
My English Classes
My English semester
has been going very well; it will reach the completion on December
19. In just two days, (Tuesday, Dec 3) I will have to take the Bridge
Test, which will be used as a placement test for the academic classes
for the next semester. I will have the result one week after taking
this test, the result will determine the right level for me to start
with the credit classes next semester which will start early in
January.
It’s very good now
that all my friends in the US can stay in touch with me and learn
about how things are moving for me here through this blog!!
Thank you very much
to all my friends, for continuing to support me, with anything that
God puts in your heart!! May God richly bless you and your family.
( Helping me is
helping a whole family and people in Haiti)
Regards,
Gladias
