Almost Home! It was too fast. This experience is an experience that I will never forget. This experience has definitely made me a better person. I also realized that we have so much more than they do; so i think it's time to not take things for granite, but appreciate what you have. Seeing the hope and strength that the people of Mississippi have just made us all stronger people. Everything about the people down there was just positive all of the time. It is great to know that MERCY made a difference and that we did as MERCY should.

As of today, we had a fantastic breakfast at Joey's Pancake house and here are a few photos from it. - Ian Spedding

====**//So, we're on the road again! I'm in the Barney Rebel Van with Mr. Cain (Driver), Me (Matt Hunt), Tone, Ms. Glatts, Ian, Franco, Frank, Tiff, Drew, and George. Meanwhile Tone and myself, along with Frank been sleeping for most of the ride. I believe some others have been sleeping as well. Last night, we slept at Living Waters Retreat Center located in Maggie Valley, North Carolina. In the morning, we dined at Joey's Pancake House also located in Maggie Valley. The food is amazing! The service is great! If and when in Maggie Valley, NC. go and visit this fine establisment. It also has a wonderful Philadelphian history. //**==== **//-Matt Hunt, Senior '09//**

heeey everyone we are coming home now and its been a great experience for me. i enjoyed helping people down here it makes me happy that i did something for the people. What i saw down there was crazy. It has been four years and there are still houses that aren't repaired. The people down there don't have much but they always are positive about everything with smiles on their faces. - Frank Kobryn
