24 Hours Till Liftoff

Twenty four little hours till we board the plane and by the time I finish writing this it'll be 24 hours till liftoff... we're just a complete ball of emotions.  The emotions can't even be described with words found in Webster's. Today, Simon is taking us out to a very special lunch. His treat! We are told to have holes in our pockets so we don't carry any cash. He is insisting on paying and it's very hard to accept, but we will. And we will enjoy our last meal, memories and laughter and tears with him. 

Then after 4:00 we'll be having several people stopping in to say goodbye and hug our necks. (Like Pierre (baby Marieanna & Gladime) and Cindy, James, Pastor Eschellete and his wife, Matthew, Robinson and anyone else we've forgotten). Please join us if you can! We hope to go get pizza, but we may possibly grab some rice/beans and chicken from the local resto. Just know our day will be full of Haitians telling us "goodbye... see you next time...when will you come again?" We don't know for sure. We are sure we'll visit again, but aren't giving a solid time that we'll be back.

We'll take loads of pics. I'll post later on FB probably.

The cry of our hearts this morning can be described in the song "Surely We Can Change" by the king himself, David Crowder: 

"Where there is pain, let there be grace.

Where there is suffering, bring serenity.

For those afraid, help them be brave.

Where there is misery, bring expectancy.

Surely we can change, surely we can change... something.

The world's about to change. The whole world's about to change!"

Our whole world's about to change and we couldn't be happier... or more sad...
