Our last day of work...............

home is that away...............................

It was with mixed feelings that we wrapped up our project today...........feelings of satisfaction that we did it but also feelings of sadness that we are leaving this warm and beautiful part of creation.

Today our work included mixing and pouring concrete all around the fence to seal it, install the slides, pick the glass and garbage out of the fill that made up the playground and a few misc. things. The black dirt never arrived (it goes that way sometimes) so we were done work early. No one complained. We said goodbye to our Jamaican friends from the school and the construction workers and gave them some farewell gifts. They were most grateful! We also said goodbye to Miss Mary and Miss Mae..............until we meet again.

The kids are at youth group with Andrew so I get to be on the Internet tonight.....yeah!! When they get home we will have our team meeting and call it a night. Tomorrow Dunns' River Falls and the beach await us:)

The kids have been great...............they have been good to each other and the people they meet. They have worked very hard. I'm sure they will have good stories to tell.

Good night from Jamaica!!
