August 17th - Last Day at Emmanuel

I got up early this morning to do a last load of laundry. After breakfast, I went to finish up in the library while Jen entered all of the children´s measurements in the computer and Andrés went to his last day of school. I brought him the chili-mango suckers to hand out to his class after recess and for the last hour of school I went back home to clean, begin packing, and get the last of the suckers to take to the big boys dining hall.

After lunch, I hung around with Doris to learn how to make tortillas (the Honduran way). I´ll have to try it back in the States. I went back to the house to prepare myself for the bible study this afternoon. Merethe had asked me to lead it last week and I´ve been working on it since Thursday. I also translated a bunch of Spanish words to English for Angi.

The bible study went well. I spoke about Jonah and how you should always say YES to God with a servant´s heart. I had supper with the girls one last time and said my goodbyes before turning in for the night.
