Pictures!!!

Well, if my internet cooperates, I will finally post some pictures!!:) This past week was really nice! Michelle Wyss and Jessica Waibel flew in with the Pfisters and Rich's mom. Janelle came up from Cayes for the week. The girls got here on Saturday. Then Sunday we went to a church in Simone (near Cayes). After church we ate at the Pastor's house, then visited a couple who is really good friends with Rich & Amber, then we went to the beach in Port Salute. It was beautiful and very relaxing!!!! It is a two hour drive home from the beach....and we sang the entire way home!!! :) Monday, I started getting into more of a schedule again with the Pfisters back. Tuesday afternoon Kate, Will, Seth, and I went on a long hike up a mountain. It was alot of fun and they had fun with my camera.:) Honestly, though, the view was amazing from the top!! Pictures can't do it justice. God is an amazing God and when I look at the mountains around me, or the ocean, or look down from the top of a mountain, and feel sooo small!!!!!!! Yet God knows and cares for each person! Wednesday after lunch, us girls hiked down to the hydro and then swam. It was beautiful and alot of fun!! Although....the hike back up from the hydro....was...slightly....slightly....brutal. But then once we got back on the road....the walk felt so easy!!! Thursday morning I did some Thanksgiving Day crafts with the Pfister and Hartzler kids. Then all of us loaded into two trucks and headed to Cayes. We had a big Thanksgiving meal with all the missionaries in the area. It was really nice and ate some tasty food!:) Early Friday morning the girls left for the airport. I had school with the kids as normal. Then in the afternoon I gave blood....well tried :(....I couldn't give enough!! Which is really strange, because normally I give really fast! She ended up trying my other arm too, but to no avail. Oh well, she said they would use it if there was an emergency. Then Heather & I went and played with some of the kids in the hospital. We brought colored pencils and a coloring book. It was soo much fun to color and talk with them!!

Now for Pictures!!!!
