Thursday

This will be a fast post because we are all trying to pack to get an early start in the morning. Summation of the day:

• Raking and general brush cleanup (see Natalie's pictures)
  
• Campus projects all completed except fence staining (see picture)
• Kitchen cabinets, painting, bathroom, soffit, concrete, railings all completed at Delph and Reda's house. Jan Klyn is a cleaning and disinfecting FORCE. No kidding--it's like a superpower.
  
• We had a final "family time" where we answered the question: What will we take home from this trip? Some responses:
• The committment of the "sold-out" missionaries we heard from here
• Carrying the cross up the hill
• Overwhelming sense of need in the area
• Mud
• Playing with the kids
• Prayer partners and letters
• Seeing young kids work and serve
  

Thanks for following the trip!

Responses to "What will we take home" activity

Our to-do list on campus. "Staining" is not checked but we got a lot of it done too!

Sad Natalie--look at this sad little bush and the leaves around it...

Happy Natalie--the little bush and surrounding area are clean
