From December 4, 2019 Yesterday, Walencia and I arrived at the MC sisters at 6:15am, which is 15 minutes ahead of the scheduled start of the liturgy. When Fr. Tom is not in Haiti, the sisters often get the French-speaking priest of Belgium to celebrate the Eucharist. For some reason, he is always early and Mass begins when he arrives.

From December 3, 2019 Yesterday, Billy and I went to the market in Petionville. We spent $1,725 before the 10% discount. I exchanged the last of my American currency for Haitian currency. When we got home, we completed the pay envelopes. All those who get paid in cash, which is most of the staff, will get half their normal amount.
