Family Reunion!

The rest of October passed by quickly. I went on a vacation with my Mother and some other family members to Disney World. My grandfather passed away. Halloween came and went.

November seemed to fly by. However, on November 16th, we had a team reunion! Leslie (who lives in Mount Pleasant, SC) decided to have our entire team and our families over to her house. It was a time for us to relive our trip, look at all of our pictures, and just enjoy spending time together! My family was unable to come, so I rode down with Brewster and his family. It was a nice trip.

I was so excited to see everyone! I was able to see some of our team members regularly because we went to church together, but others I had not seen since we left Haiti! Leslie and her family opened their beautiful home for us and prepared some delicious food. They even made Spaghetti pie (one of our Haitian meals)!

Julie also lived in Mt. Pleasant and she brought some of her children for us to meet. Dr. Ed came, as well as Dr. Mandy and her husband. The rest of the team had illness/injuries in the family or other plans. It was a shame we weren't all together, but it was still a wonderful reunion.

We ate lots of food and looked at all of our pictures. Brewster even put together a little video slide show of all of our pictures to some music. It was so nice to relive all of those wonderful moments again and to share them with our families and friends!

After we ate, Dr. Mandy put together an awards banquet for our team! It was a total surprise! She spent so much time thinking and putting together a special gift/speech about each person from our team. All of the gifts were funny and like inside jokes to our team. It was so fun! Mandy also gave each person a matted picture of La Gonave on a beautiful stand. She is so thoughtful!

Then Leslie presented each of us with a gift as well. She gave everyone a hand-held luggage scale/weight! It has a measuring tape and a hook attached so we can weigh our bags and never get held up in the airport again! Ha! What a great gift! What a great night! What great memories!

Coming Up Next...Ready to Roll, Again!
