The last night before the second group of visitors left was quite the night!!! They prepared a feast of cabbage rolls, mashed potatoes and smores for dessert. They set the table nice and we all sat together like one BIG family. One of the visitors wrote a special poem and Samuel translated it for everyone. When we were finished eating Jn Eddy stood up and said a special prayer for them. Overall it was quite the touching night.
The next day they left and there were lots of tears (even some of the guys cried). The last few days the guys and kids have been moping around the house wishing the visitors were still here.
Things are sort of back to normal. I was expecting things to be REALLY quiet but I guess I forgot where I lived. Things are NEVER quiet at Coram Deo. There are just more Haitians around these days and less "blancs".
Tonight my friend Jenny is sleeping over. Every time I go to her house for the weekend Manu complains that I'm always leaving. I told Jenny this so she decided to come and hang out with 'us' for the night. It'll be neat for her to see my life and maybe she'll really understand why I love going to her house so much:)
The only bad news I have to report is that I'm getting fat!!! The visitors came with so MUCH good food and a LOT of junk food. Also I haven't been to the gym in 2 whole weeks. I hope I can lose all my fat before I come home for Christmas so I can pig out on Christmas food without any guilt:)
