Deb had been named the "godmother" of the event, and both she and Pam gave speeches encouraging and honoring the community agents. Belinda, Pam, and Shari sang first in English and then in Creole, accompanied by Rene on the keyboard, with lights held by Devin and Emily, since by then it was dark :). You could sense the excitement of the audience as they heard them singing in Creole; it clearly meant a lot to them that the Americans were singing in their language.
The amazing Sabine and Heather whipped up mini-pizzas for our supper, and Pastor Herve came and chatted with us for a bit. Nick continued his role of making sure there were no leftovers. He ate 3 of the pizzas, but it paled in comparison to the 13 hotdogs he ate a few nights ago. Right now he has a blazing fire going (not because we are cold, but to burn some trash). Jeff Hochstettler, we finally finished the chocolate! Everyone is scurrying around getting everything packed and put away. We plan to leave at 4:30 am, so feel free to wake up and pray for us as we travel. Thanks for praying for us during the trip. As Devin said, it has been a week of answered prayers.
And when we get home, get ahold of us to find out how you can sponsor a student (or Community Agent) and also come on a trip yourself. You would be so blessed by both...
