18 GRADUATES, OVER 1,000 FRIENDS. It was quite a sight. The tabernacle was full as the 2004 graduating class of Haiti Nazarene Bible College came down the aisle. Of course folks kept coming, swelling the number of family, friends, and visitors to well over 1,000. Many watched from the back and sides (it's an open-air tabernacle), as the service ran on (just a bit over 3 hours). It was long and hot, but there was a great sense of excitement and gratitude that we were able to have a graduation this year!

RAINGUTTER REGATTA. The kids at Warren Woods Church held a boat race on Wednesday night. Nicolas made his little boat from a kit (orange with a shark motif. #36), and was psyched up for the competition. He lost the first heat, but was perfect in the loser bracket. Good enough for 3rd place overall! He had a great time. Of course Dad missed it (I was in Kentucky), but Linda took lots of pictures!
