You might go home today and take a walk. Maybe you’ll go alone, meet a friend, or drag your spouse along. If you have a dog, you’ll pry take it too. I could even venture to say it’s pretty common to see someone out walking their dog. Not here. Haitians don’t keep dogs as pets-and the few that do only use them for security. They let the dog sleep outside and maybe give it food every once in a while. I have never seen a dog on a leash here. I have seen cows taken out on leashes to graze, which always makes me nervous when the only thing preventing it from charging me is a thin rope. But just today, I saw a different animal being taken out for a walk. A man was walking his pig, followed by eight little piglets! I had just stepped out of the Cholera Treatment Center to get a fresh breath of air, and saw him saunter by with his family of pigs tied to a rope. I laughed so hard people started staring at me. And, in a very strange way it made me feel as if all was well with the world, that despite what is happening, life goes on.

Hahahaha, that’s awesome! I love how in the midst of such tragidy and heaviness, God uses a pig and piglets to bring you joy. So fun. Thank you for serving as His hands and feet in a place that most people wouldn’t dare to go. As Francis Chan says, that is some ‘Crazy Love’ you have for Him. 🙂 We are praying for you guys and for the Lord’s healing hand upon all the sick people there. Keep up the hard work, doctors. 😉
