I know that most of you comment on how much you love wen photos are posted, so sorry we haven’t been on the last few posts. I am having some issues with my computer and I am confident it is an operator error but nonetheless, I can’t get them for you to see.
We left Gertrude’s guesthouse today and traveled a short distance to our new place, Heartline Guesthouse. It is a beautiful place and it is so fun for me to return. Each time I have come there are fun new improvements.
We settled in and then got picked up to go to my friends Art and Miquette’s wedding. Miquette and I have been friends for years and if you have followed my blog you have heard her name and seen pictures of her. When she called to tell me she was getting married, I was going to do all I could to be here for the big day. As I expected, it was a beautiful day and the wedding was as well. It was at a fancy hotel up in the mountains and we quickly forgot we were in Haiti.
Tomorrow (Sunday) will be our last full day in Haiti and we all have mixed feelings about leaving. As most of you know, this place and these people hold a very dear place in my heart. It has been such a joy to be able to share it with 3 people who mean so much to me and even mean more now after sharing this time together.

Hi to all in Haiti!
First of all, I am so glad that your mom accompanied you on this trip. I am anxious to hear her stories! Secondly, you continue to amaze me by your selfless giving to others. I am very proud of all you do and your committment to your faith.
Kyle is planning a trip to Haiti this winter. I beleive he is volunteering his surgical skills. I don’t know where he is going or exactly when, but I am sure it will be a life-altering experience. I’ve never heard of anyone going to Haiti whose life didn’t change!
Have a safe trip home.
Kay

Miquette got married! That’s so great. Don’t know if you know this, but we were on ResLife staff together at Concordia (same time, different buildings. She was in the apartments and I was in Park Region.) I don’t know if she’d remember me, but I definitely remember the way she could put anyone at ease with her great sense of humor and how she always had a smile on her face. I’m sure it was an incredibly joyous occasion! I’m glad that you’ve had a wonderful trip so far. Enjoy the rest of your time and have safe travels home!
