Bature

Final morning in Emi-Woro, saying goodbye to all our Fulani friends in
Emi-woro, including Bature and his family.

Goodbye

We've been officially 'sent off'. Yesterday Church service was a combo
Thanksgiving, dancing, celebration/Myer's family send off (which Aaron
and I have decided to join for practical purposes). We were blessed with
prayers, final words and special gifts. It's pretty humbling being given
all this special attention, having fancy gowns made for you and your
family and knowing it came at a sacrifice to the gift givers. We feel
honored to be the recipients. We have a few more parties planned and
plan to enjoy every minute of our last two days.

Progress

The work continues on our 4th classroom block. The final for our primary
school.

'goodbye house'

Who says you can't have class while lying on the ground? We finished
yesterday, packed it all up, everything on the walls and tables is put
back in the library ready for whoever comes next. We divided all the
flash cards we've made this term among our class and played our final
game of 'Go Fish' alphabet style. I probably won't hear them begin the
day with 'good morning house' for a very long time but I'll sure
remember it.
