It's Friday, which means in less than 24 hours we will be on our way home. Which means that between now and then there will be lots of tears shed. Our group has connected in ways that many of them weren't expecting. Already they are anticipating the inevitable, and not exactly looking forward to it.
We wrapped up the work that we could finish this morning, which was basically continuing to trim and hauling the brush out of the back door of the compound to be burned at a later date. If your child went on this trip and ever complains that you are making them do too much work or too many chores, feel free to remind them how much work they did here. (Please don't tell them I suggested that) They have worked their tails off! I am so proud of them! And subtract the minor bumps and bruises and there was no drama at all. That is rare for a youth trip, let me tell you.
Ice cream sure is popular! Last night we took some students who were being rewarded for good behavior out for ice cream, and today we will be making homemade ice cream with all the kids. You won't hear me complain.
Sorry for the lack of photo updates at our Flickr site. I have problems uploading pictures. When I get back to the States, I will try it again.
Thanks for your prayers, financial, and emotional support. We couldn't have done it without you. See you soon!
