Tonight is the last night our work team from Kansas is here. (Pictured from left to right: Janet, Sarah, Troy, Sara & Hannah) We had anticipated more guest blogging throughout the week, but we must have kept them too busy. Even now as I begin this, it is 7:00pm and several members are finishing painting the church downstairs. So tonight we will post a sort of collage of group comments.
What was your favorite part of the week?
I think my favorite part was going to the market. There are all sorts of different foods that I have never seen before or smelled before. It was one of those places where I really felt like I was somewhere other than Kansas - Hannah.
Getting to know the members of our church better: like when you're driving in the car or sitting around the table and you suddenly break into a song or something. Those are just really memorable moments-Sarah
I'm torn between the food and the people. Here is even more of a melting pot than the US. -Troy
The bats and the scarlet ibis- Sara
Oh, add the scarlet ibis to mine - Hannah
Meals with local families, the market, spending time with the Gehrings!!! - Janet
What surprised you most this week?
How there is a really high crime rate, and it's a really small area and how often I hear the ambulance go by. Our work project at WITC in which we catalogued old newspaper articles really made that more real. Also, that day we were supposed to be plastering at Hope church and we heard the roosters crowing. It is a sound I hadn't heard since I was on my friend's farm when I was little. - Hannah
That I didn't feel white - Sara
KFC and narrow, mountainous roads - Janet
official one word reflections of the week:
ouch (sunburn), yum, hot, spicy - Hannah
20-incomplete-social-work-hours-and-cultural-awareness - Sarah
mind-opening -Janet
Wow - Sara
Driving - Troy
