Day 8 - There is always an ending... can we change that?

Well John and Betty's time here on Saipan is coming to an end and Mark and I both are already missing them... Our last day together was celebrating the incoming new year... We spent the day cleaning up and packing and spending the afternoon on the beach at Pau Pau once again... we all indulged in a little snorkling one last time and were highly entertained by the corona commercial john and betty tried to create... hopefully soon Mark will have that edited and ready for viewing =).

With the count down on the way to the new year, we bbqed up some hotdogs and had a bonfire on the beach with the VanDams, with all of us asleep before midnight rolled around... until the clock struck 12 and we all eneded up on the porch watching the hundreds of fireworks fill the night sky..

2 hours later we were piling into the car and driving John and Betty to the airport...

It was definatly not an easy goodbye, but a vacation for all of us to remember. John and Betty, thank you for coming all this way to see us and our island... We hope you have a better understanding as to why we are here, and why we feel God calling us to stay another year. We love you both so very much and cant wait to see you next when we are coming off the plane in June!

We love you and hope you had a great tropical vacation, away from the snow =).

HAFA ADAI!
