So Long, Sweet Summer...

Well, the end has come. Today is our very last day in Harmons. I'm still not sure that I even realize that as I type this post. Just the other day, Rachel and I were talking about going home. Rachel said, "this is our way of life now, this is our home." And that is so true. No longer will we be waking up to the sound of roosters, barking dogs, and annoying parrots. No longer will we run downstairs to see Fridgie dancing and smiling and acting crazy. We won't get to hug Mama Gloria everyday. We will no longer go on our walks around Harmons and visit our favorite friends. We won't be in Jamaica. It's so strange to think about leaving this life, this home we've become accustomed to. But today we say our final goodbyes. Today, leaving becomes real...


If I tried to sum up my summer experience in one last blog post, I would not do it justice. There are too many things I am still processing and learning that I would love to share with all of you. I sit here in the office as it rains outside, trying to find the last words. I desire a post that is incredibly meaty and that will capture my summer in a few paragraphs, but it's just not possible.


Quite possibly the most beautiful thing about coming to Harmons is that everyone's experience is different. Whether you've spent a week here, read about Harmons on the internet, or spent your entire summer here, you remember different things, you experience different things. My stories and my experiences are completely different from Debo's and from David's. The things I learned and am still learning are completely different from Chris, Colt, and Phil. Rachel and I will cherish different memories and remember different people. That's what is incredible! God brought us all here for different reasons. He taught us all different things.


I want to thank all of you for an incredible summer! Thank you for reading about us, supporting us, and praying for us. We could not have made it without you! Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we return home to the states.


So long, sweet summer...

Lacy

Good day, sun shines!
There have were times of hardship when I felt unhappy missing knowledge about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
I have never imagined that there weren't any need in large starting capital.
Nowadays, I'm happy and lucky , I begin take up real income.
It's all about how to choose a correct companion who uses your funds in a right way - that is incorporate it in real business, and shares the profit with me.

You may ask, if there are such firms? I have to answer the truth, YES, there are. Please be informed of one of them:
