We completed our last day of work building 2 more cage basket walls for the next team to use on their rubble house. Plus, we actually did get to work on a 4th rubble house as it turned out just down the street one was being finished on the inside and they needed some more rubble dumped at the very top of the perimeter walls to allow the concrete masons to take the finish all the way to the top of the house. So we shoveled and wheelbarrowed the rubble and dumped the rubble in place to finish the job.
Gilbertsville team worked with us the whole day and we said our goodbyes but not before more than one of them said to us, " we sure would like to come back when you do", and "ya'll(well maybe it was youz guyz since they are from NY) sure understand helping others and having a good time at the same time". Can I get an AMEN !!!!!
We have been touched by so many, but we have also touched many and the love of Jesus has shown through us this whole week. We have done much good and we have shown love for our neighbor as thy self.
We will awake at 4:30 to leave at 5am and make the 2 1/2 hr trip to Port-au-Prince Airport. Our flight leaves at 9am and takes us to Ft Lauderdale arriving around noon Wednesday. Once we clear customs, we will have until 8:30 before our flight leaves to take us on the last leg to Myrtle Beach.
If all goes as planned, we should be back in Wilmington around 11:30. Please pray for our safety and smooth "sailing".
We are very sad to leave our many friends here, but we are all excited and anxious to be reunited with our family and loved ones.
Bye from Haiti,
Jay, Donna, Ann, Woody, George and Wesley
