From what I can see in the pictures, the construction of the foundation walls and columns looks awesome! This will be great for the classroom additions! I bet all the people of Haiti were happy you all came to help and enjoyed working with you. Good luck with the goodbyes and safe travels home!

Still thinking of you and praying with you from a distance, along with Bette. I'm so proud to be your friend. What a wonderful gift to the less fortunate. May the sun soon shine warm upon your face and the rain (Emily) fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand. AMEN! Love you to the moon and back Thelma and Pinky xoxo

Keep working hard! It focuses the mind, elevates the heart and purifies the spirit. I wouldn't know from personal experience, but this is what I've always heard. We love you and are immensely proud of you. Re: TS Emily, keep your heads down!

Emily is coming your way! All that dirt I see in the pics will now be mud. Maybe it will cool down a bit? The kids I see in the pics look really cute ~ Keep making them smile.

Meg:) Dad says "loves you and stay dry." It will be getting a bit more exciting for you; Tropical Storm Emily is coming your way! It reminds one that when we are in the center of His will, it is the only place we want to be in the storm! Keep up the great work you are all doing! Drink enough fluids and rest as He allows. Love you! Can't wait to hear the stories and see the pictures. MM xoxo miss you too!

We are enjoying looking at the pictures and reading the updates. It's been very hot here this week, too, but probably not as "hot as Haiti". It doesn't look like any of you will have to workout at the gym this week! Keep up the good work and know all you are doing is helping others!

We were thrilled to see the picture of you all having arrived safely at the start of your adventure. Stay safe, stay cool (and hydrated!), and do good work. Kate: the Brewers swept the Cubs, then the Astros this past week, and are in first place by 2 1/2 games. We'll see how they do this week against the Cards. We attended yesterday's game, and Italian won the sausage races. He was due. It was a relay race with the "Weenies." Carylann: remember to swing UNDER the ball! We'll catch up with you by phone when you return. We love you and are so proud of you! Rich and Robin

So glad to see those smiling faces and that the trip down was OK. You all were prayed for at the mass during the prayers of the faithful this AM. Everyone wanted to know how you guys were and how you were doing. To know the difference you are making in just one life let alone even many should make you proud of what you are doing; I know we are! We love you guys and miss you even more. Stay safe and know our thoughts and prayers are with you. Love to you both. C/D
