Friday

From Lynsi:  first off, how old is the puppy? second, WHY was it on my pillow? i miss you guys soooo much :) see you sunday, but we will call you Saturday around 8:00 p.m. when we get into Fort Lauderdale. 

We can't believe that today is our last day.  We spent every second we could with the boys this afternoon just trying to soak up every second.  We did have a secret meeting in one of our rooms.  We think we will need to tie up Jim and Gayle tomorrow morning and sneak the boys out.  The tremendous 10 seemed okay with this :)  But, we wouldn't get down the road before they would miss their mommy and poppy.

After the teacher seminar today we presented each of the teacher with a certificate that Lisa made on the computer.  Paster Andre laminated them.  As each teacher's name was called we hummed Pomp and Circumstance (isn't that the graduation song?)  You would have thought we were handing them a million dollars. 

We went to each of the classrooms today and gave each of the children some candy.  When we walk into the room every tiny little person in the classroom stands up and says "Bonjour Madame Sam" or whoever comes into the room.  Words can not describe how precious they are.  Just wait until Sunday until we get some pictures up.

We will be leaving the compound at noon tomorrow (Saturday) and hope to be at the airport in Port by 2:00 and our flight leaves at 4:20.  We should land in Ft. Lauderdale around 7:30 and will be calling our families. 

This is our last post.  We won't check it tomorrow.

Sounded like today was another wonderful day with the people of Haiti. I hope you have a handkerchief handy for Sat. You have made so many new friends. I bet the church looks great from the paint job the guys did. The certificates was a nice way to honor the teachers and their hard work. Can't wait to see the photos and see the "Tremendous 10" Hope your flights are as good as they were coming. Blessings to you all.
