Another awesome day filming at the orphanage. We finished most of what we need other then dinner tomorrow night, prayers and bed time routine. Pastor Benoit's wife made us soup that they make every year on New Years and it was delicious.
We spent more time with the kids today just hanging out. It was really cute, the boys were playing with Jeff and all the girls were crawling all over me playing with my hair, touching my skin, wiping my sweat off and fanning me. I can't wait until I learn Creole because I would just love to know what all their chatter was. One particular little girl has become especially fond of me and follows me everywhere holding my hand or just leaning up against me touching my skin and trying to pick off my pink nail polish. She is so sweet and cuddley. They all are. They just love getting as close to you as they can. If I could I would adopt one of these little bel fi's in a heartbeat.
Tomorrow morning we are picking up Pastor Benoit's sons Caleb and Abson as well as a couple of Jimmy's musician friends. We are going to the falls that supply all of the power for Haiti and go to the near town to walk around. Jimmy and his friends are bringing their instruments and will play something for us near the falls. Caleb & Abson are so excited to hang out with us outside the orphanage again. They rarely get any freedom to leave the orphanage so this is a real treat for them and I love being able to help them have a break from their strict life.
After the falls we will have our dinner with Pastor Benoit, his family and the children. I look forward to seeing them again. I feel like they are my extended family, so warm and welcoming.
I'm really tired as I haven't had a minute to rest since being here. Even when I feel like I may pass out, I'm excited to get up and go do more research and film. I don't want to waste a minute here. I am going to bed very soon to rest up for tomorrow. This will be the only real day we are going to somewhat have off. Although I will be filming everything so not really.

Bon nuit
