CHAPTER 3-" . the Lord is supplying all our
 needs . ."

Nov. 26-On Thanksgiving we decided to splurge and
 buy an American frozen chicken, which we had
 heard were really wonderful compared to the scrawny,
 tough Haitian fowl. So we ordered a chicken, and
 also a pumpkin pie from the same place which caters
 to Americans. Thanksgiving Day noon I went to
 collect these items and they hadn't been able to get
 the frozen chickens out of customs yet, so I took the
 pie home with me, having made arrangements for
 the chicken to be delivered as soon as it arrived.
 They thought they could deliver the chicken in the
 early afternoon, but at about 4:30 in the afternoon
 it finally made its way up the hill to our house. That
 was too late for us to have it for dinner and get to
 the church for prayer-meeting by 7:15, so we decided
 to eat a little piece of pumpkin pie for dinner that
 evening and re-celebrate Thanksgiving Day the next
 day with chicken dinner at noon. And so we did.
 Mary fried the chicken to perfection-it was out of
 this world, so tender and tasty. The whole dinner
 was just right and we really enjoyed it.
 Mary is figuring out our account and she just
 read off two figures which demonstrate the topsy-
 turvy economics of Haiti, $1.65 for a rubber sponge
 and sieve from Firestone, and $1.40 for 3 Haitian-
 made chairs. Of course, there is a difference in quali-
 ty, but probably many more man-hours went into
 making the chairs. Well, that's Haiti.
 Now have the house fairly well organized. The
 living room is absolutely bare, but we want to wait
 until we can get some permanent furniture for it-
 we don't use it now anyway, probably because it has
 no furniture!
