Hi Jocelyn and Pierre
Thanks so much for the Creole lesson. Pierre, it was great to see you on the video. How I miss Haiti and I can hardly wait to come back. I was part of the Canada team that came to NWHCM back in May of this year. I hope to return to Haiti with my family in August, 2011 and I would love to come to see you in de Mole. Until then we will faithfully study creole each week with you!

Wait – I know that student! He does not belong there.
Great job guys and Leigh and I miss you and really want to be back there! Sorry I did not get to say good bye as I jumped on the luggage truck and did not realize that I would not get to say bye for now.
We will keep watching and learn more Creole!
