Day 8 Mission: Saying Goodbye

Thursday, February 25

Thursday morning we went back to Carrie's office at the preschool and while Carrie filed, Ruth and I washed all of the toys with our Clorox wipes that we found at Price Smart (Sam's club).  We ordered our lunch and had it delivered.  One of the things that I enjoyed on this trip was tasting all of the different kinds of natural juices that they make here.  Many women make this "jugo natural" in their homes for their families and to sell. The school "cafeteria" sells this juice as well including orange with oatmeal, pineapple, and tamarindo.  At lunch I ordered lime and at the restaurant, we had chinola.  They are all very good.

In the afternoon, we finished filing all of Shelley's files.  All of this filing was, of course, done in Spanish so by this time we having fun guessing at how they were pronounced when asking questions to Shelley and Carrie.  Apparently, we weren't doing a very good job, because it almost always made Shelley and Carrie laugh.  Two filing drawers full of Spanish files.  I'm finished!

The teachers at the preschool surprised us both with gifts.  This was so nice and unnecessary.  We both felt very blessed and thankful for the appreciation that they all showed us for the work that we did this week.  In the evening we attended Eddy and Carrie's community Bible study .  Saying goodbye to all of our friends today was difficult but was summed up by Fifa.  "We hope to see you again but if not we will see you in Heaven."  - Karen
