Our Last Full Day :(

Today is the last full day we have in Trinidad :( While the team is very sad at the thought of leaving, we are enjoying ourselves and remembering all we have done here.

We went to two schools this morning, and both were very rewarding. The first school we went to was an integration school for both the handicapped and non handicapped children. Personally, I had a great time talking to a few kids in particular: Faith, who had Downs Syndrome, DeAndrew, who suffered from seizures, and Katishma, who had cerebral palsy. What a blessing this time was! The kids all enjoyed our singing and our skits.

We went on to another school nearby. It was a preschool run in what looked to be a house. The children there were all so sweet, and had fun getting to ride on Micah and Nate's shoulders :)

After returning to TTUM we enjoyed lunch together (especially enjoying the juicy watermelon we don't have at home this time of year) and then washed the 'Maxi-Taxi' we have been riding in these last two weeks (if you don't know what a Maxi-Taxi is yet, it's a type of shuttle or bus). After that we enjoyed ourselves in the sun by the pool, talking and swimming and reading. Oh, yes, and throwing Nate into the pool (twice!). That was fun :) (there has been a bit of a war going on here. The other night, the boys threw myself, Charissa, Liz, and Melanie into the pool and then last night locked us out of the building where our rooms are).

Dinner will be coming up soon, and I hear we are to enjoy home-made Trini pizza :) Yum. Another team is arriving tonight around 11:30 or so, which is right around when we are planning on making a KFC run :)

Well, we will be seeing most of you very soon. Thank you all so much for your prayers, your support has meant so much to our team!!

God bless, Krista Thoman
