Well, group two should be comfortably in their hotel in Ft. Lauderdale--I've heard nothing to the contrary.
Most of group one is already in bed. We need to leave by 7am tomorrow morning to get to the airport by 7:30. Group 2 arrives and 8 and Group 1 departs Haiti at 9am. Unfortunately they will not get to interact other than possibly a wave through a window.
The last day was spent pouring more concrete for the last section of a sidewalk. Installing bunk beds that Wilson (COTP employee) had built for the VP boys. Finishing up organizing the playroom--you can see the floor now!! Helping organize in the depot (supply room). Caring for babies was also a priority as people spent their last days with some of the kids they have become attached to.
Jess & Dana had their hair braided. Jill had her hair put in little puffs--not sure what you call it...
It rained hard this afternoon while some of our boys went over to the compound next door and played soccer with kids from the community. Then some of the guys--Neil and Evan--stood out in the rain and waited for rats to come out of some known hiding spots, but they had no luck. By the way, you may think there is a lot of talk of rats, but its really not like this place is crawling with them--its just an interesting topic.
We had our final devotions with staff tonight as a wrap up--the long term staff has enjoyed us as a group, and we definitely have enjoyed the long term staff along with the local staff!
Kara has taunted me a bit that she will be having Dairy Queen tomorrow and Zach and Jake keep talking about Cini-bon. It's okay though, I'm content being here.

Praying for safe travels for team 1 and 2 today!
