Last Day Of Working

Today was our last day of working. It is bitter/sweet. We really miss our families but we know that we will miss here too. We finished our last latrine today as a team. It was good because we finished in record time and also were able to talk and play with the family. The hardest thing is saying goodbye because they hug you and don't want to let go. After that we had lunch and then split up into two teams of four to visit some families. It was interesting to talk to them and hear about their lives. The culture here is very welcoming and hospitible. They were very willing to talk to us and tell us about themselves. OK, now for our update on each person:
Suzan couldn't find bottle caps for the latrine.
Arlene has a lot of surprises for people at home.
Joel likes to sing and dance in the latrine.
Jeff now owns a lot of coffee.
Branden still needs his churro.
Jenny is good at putting up siding.
Stephen doesn't have a bed to sleep on...he needs to pack! (oh yah, he needs some beef and broccli)
Allie is packed an ready to go but will miss the people.

We will be home tomorrow and ready for some good sleep. We miss you all and will see you very soon!

Stephen and Allie

Looking forward to having you lead us in jumping, dancing and craziness for God!
We'd love to have some beef and broccoli for you too!
