- thank you that there are enough of us to have: our own volleyball team with subs, enough badminton teams for round robin tournaments, enough people to have our own band, and how we can double the size of any party we attend.
- thank you for making us believe that there was a Grinch in the world so that every night we would check our closet and under our bed to make sure he wasn't hiding there.
- on the flip side, thank you for being there to protect us from the Grinch
- thank you for making us eat our vegetables and liver - so that now our friends think we are weird because we like brussel sprouts, though we still hate liver
- thank you for making us get over our fear of heights by refusing to go home until we all had jumped from some high height into Georgian Bay
- thank you for instilling in us an appreciation for long road trips and "the scenic route"
- thank you for teaching us not to take ourselves too seriously. Now we don't take you too seriously either.
Laughing aside, in all seriousness, thank you very much for your love and care for us these past years, for your generosity in your time and with your money, for your encouragement as we ventured far from home and into some not-so-safe situations, for your examples of godliness and sacrifice in your love for each other. Thank you for your continued encouragement for each of us to seek the Lor.
Lots of love from the crazy squad:
Amanda, Rachel, Candace, Laurence, Hetty, Jacob & Theodore
