When people say 'pa respe figi w', does that excuse them so they can say a bad word? Doesn't that mean that 'out of respect for you' i'll tone down what I heard... or something like that? Which means that you can't repeat a bad word after you use this expression, right? mesi davans!

Do you mean: pa respè figi w, orespè figi w, orespè?
If yes, then people say that to warn you that something vulgar is coming.
For example:
Lè'm te pale avè l, li te di'm, orespè figi w, pe dyòl mwen.
When I spoke to him, he told me to, pardon the vulgarity, shut up.

"Mwen menm m pral(e) dejene nan otel la nan Potoprens avek ou mwen menm". Poukisa se"mwen menm" repete nan fen fraz la anko? Mesi anpil.

Some people do talk like that as a way to emphasize "as for me".  But the sentence is better written with just one "mwen menm".
"Mwen menm m pral(e) dejene nan otel la nan Potoprens avek ou mwen menm". 
"As for me I'll go have breakfast in the hotel with you."

I am leading a mission team to Haiti (this will be our 3rd trip). I would love for the team to try to learn a Christian song in Creole. I have tried to find a song with both English and Creole Lyrics AND with something to listen to in Creole with no luck. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you. Melissa

Youtube is the best place to look for that.  I guess knowing the title of these songs in Creole would help too :).  Here is a link to a few of them.  Some of them may have the Creole lyrics (written on the screen) too.  I hope that helps.
