We woke up and had breakfast as normal, but there was something hanging in the air.  We knew this was our last day on the project and we would be say goodbye to several people that we have become fast friends with.  At the site it was work as normal; lets move, lets get things done.  We still worked on the roofing timbers as some of the team finished the concrete floors in the building.  We are sad that we won’t see the roof on, but at the same time very proud that we have accomplished much more than we started out to do.  The construction will continue until the money is expended after we leave.  There is still much more to do and we could use another team with two weeks to help finish it completely.

God didn’t want long sad goodbyes so just as we were about to wrap up for the day He brought on a huge thunder, lightening and heavy rain storm.  We had our quick goodbyes to the people of the village and headed for the safety of our van.  Heading back on dirt (mud) roads in the heavy downpour with 9 sweaty rain soaked bodies added a final touch of excitement to the end of the work day.

We got back to the hotel for a quick shower and change of clothes because we had plans for the evening.  The rain has completely stopped and it is a beautiful evening.  We headed to the Mityana Baptist Church where Harry spoke to a group of about 20 young men and women.  He told them about setting goals and finding a way to achieve them.  It was inspirational to watch the youth taking notes and really wanting to know how they can succeed and reach their dreams.  Several of them said they wish they had more time to learn more and to have us there to help them as they plan.  Wycliffe said he wants to have a future session where we could spend the day giving a seminar to youth; there is such a need.  

We headed back to the Enro Hotel for a special dinner with some of the friends who have been with us during this mission.  It was great fun with lots of laughter and joy.  We have found that the people are so warm and friendly and truly care about us.  We definitely have made several great friends and we will miss them dearly.
