Blog readers!!! (a.k.a. friends, family, anyone at all),

This trip is coming to a close, and the last couple days have been great.

Our last day in Dumay was the hottest yet... but we were able to 'call it a day' at 1:00pm. The trusses for school feeding center have been finished and the roof is waiting for it's layer of sheet metal to be finished. We were able to pour the rebar posts for the school into the foundation as well, and the construction will continue to progress on the school building.

On Sunday we worshipped in the Gramothe church again, though this time with a larger congregation... the hurricane from last weekend has long since disipated. It was a great time of worship and reflection. The evening we closed with watching a movie called 'End Of Spears'... a movie with a thought provoking message about missions... get a chance to watch it if you can! We, the leaders, also broke the schedule for today, Monday: Beach Day!

Today we loaded up a 'Haitian' bus... (read LOADED UP)... and headed to Wahoo Bay with the youth group from Gramothe. The two and a half hour trip each way was tiring, but the time we spent at the beach was relaxing. We ate lunch at the restaurant in the resort we visited; a meal that many of the kids in Gramothe have never had the opportunity to eat in their lives. It was also an experience for the Gramothe youth as many have never been to the ocean either!

Tomorrow we rise early to head for the airport in Port-au-Prince. We have two layovers, and fly into YVR at 6:50pm on flight AA 887.

Blessings all... will attempt to post more pics soon... if not today then when we get home to Vancouver.
