Almost There

Last week I told you about all the exams we were dealing with. Well, we're still in that stage. And now I have to edit, print, stamp and copy three more tests with one broken printer and no paper by tomorrow!

No worries, though. We have a back-up printer and we're making a trip to town tomorrow to get the paper. Very solvable problems. We deal with lots of these kinds of things in Haiti. So goes life.

Tomorrow is also my last day here before my Stateside visit. I have nearly finished all of my goal projects. I spent most of my day today making admission badges for our women's conference in January. It's great to get those things done ahead of time and they look really great. Everything I have left to do is quite minor, Thank God.

I hope I'll get to see most of you while I'm around. It really is a privilege to have you on my team.

Much love. See you in America.

Exams, exams, and more exams!

We've been typing exams for a week now. Last year I cried more than once because this time is so stressful. But, as with everything else this year, there is a team within which we can distribute the work.

We took a bit of a break today, though, and swam in the ocean for several hours, catching starfish for a UN group of Jordanian SWAT team members. No, I'm not kidding.

But now I'm back to trying to cross some things of the list. I'm having a hard time finding any motivation today. I must have lost it last night when I stayed up until midnight typing exams. I tend to lose quite a few things in that context.

I'm headed back to the States in a bit more than a week. I'll miss the ocean, warmth and work while I'm gone. I haven't seen or felt winter for awhile, though, either. So I'll take the good with the not-as-good.

Hopefully we'll get everything done that we need to get done before the end of next week. I'll let you know.

Much love.
