Update 10

Packed up this a.m. leaving behind things we'd not need once we leave here which meant we could leave behind one empty suitcase. We completed our exit questionnaires & gave a list of all who'd donated to our fund raising page so each would have their name put on a brick. (So thankful to them!!). Then we stood by the door along with 6 others who were also leaving today and got hugs from everyone as they left for the work sites. It's strange how 9 days of living, working & sleeping so closely together ...in such heat...can form such bonds. Yup, there were lots of tears!
So 10 of us loaded into the van & headed for the airport where we feasted on cheese sandwiches & potato chips...and more chips (aka French fries—misunderstanding) and COLD Coke Zero & beer. So refreshing!!
As we sat waiting for our flight, we realized that not once had we heard anyone be cross to anyone. Actually we didn't see any kids fighting or getting yelled at either.
Like so many times on these trips, my heart feels happy & my life's attitude has been adjusted.
