And they are both currently serving there.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first, Kacie, has been there many years now!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second just arrived in country two weeks ago: Joel Zizi is there to teach 6th grade through 9th English and PE.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tonight he sent me his first photo-packed newsletter from the field and two things struck me:<\/p>\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>He looks like a natural fit in the classroom. And in Haiti in general.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n<li>I am homesick for Haiti.<\/li>\n\n<\/ol>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tomorrow is Vertieres Day &#8211; a national holiday in Haiti. It&#8217;s the day all the missionaries always made our substitute Thanksgiving. We have so many great memories of November 18ths in Haiti in particular.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I miss it dearly!<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have a heart for Haiti and want to support either of the two missionaries this blog has had a small hand in getting to Cap Haitien Christian School, you can go to their support pages by clicking on their names below:<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/teachbeyond.org\/support\/joel-zizi\" target=\"_blank\">Joel Zizi<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/teachbeyond.org\/support\/saint-fidor\" target=\"_blank\">Kacie St. Fidor<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I know they both are doing great work for God&#8217;s Kingdom and both could use a little extra financial support.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Next month I will be completing three years of writing (almost) daily here.
