I can't believe that today is our last day here. Having returned from church and lunch, we are all relaxing a bit and kind of reviewing our week over in our heads. We have had quite a week filled with many new experiences, tender moments, a lot of laughs and bonding with new friends, rats and cockroaches, showers in the rain, beautiful scenery and, let's not forget, many, many bottles of hand sanitizer!!!
One of my favorite times of each day (other than cuddling babies!) is our team devotions at night. These times have been spent sharing a devotion and our thoughts of the day. You might be surprised where some of these discussions ended up! Let's just say to you parents whose teen is on this trip...You should be very proud of your children. It is clear that this was a special team that God Himself put together.
We are all a little tired...in a good way. We feel like we accomplished what we came to do and we pray now that we made an impact on these precious little souls.
An experience of a lifetime!! Our bodies certainly have been challenged, our eyes opened to another culture, and our hearts forever touched!!
Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers....they were certainly needed and felt. We look forward to sharing our experiences with you.
Blessings, Deb O.

Don't forget to take your showers! The way Chicago traffic doesn't move, it's going to be a long and cozy ride back from the airport on Monday in the minivan!
See you all tomorrow!
Uh, Bruce, you obviously have never taken the ride from GLA to the airport, or waited in line at the Port Au Prince airport. They are going to be hot and sweaty no matter when they take showers!
