Today we started to uncover more of the new wall in my square. The team is working well and we have been getting a good amount of work done at a good pace. I am finally getting adjusted to the 4am wakeup call and working in the heat. This morning was much better physically than the last several days. I’ve been stretching all throughout the day and it is really helping me to feel better onsite! Cliché, but I am now acclimated and really in the flow of this work and heat and tomorrow is my last day here. After work today the fellas and I had our usually swim/clothing washing session in the sea – then time for lunch. After lunch, while walking with mother, I was thinking about how much my brother would love it here. This evening my mother and will be leading a small devotion/prayer service. This international context is a wonderful place to consider the relationship between faith and diversity. I feel very deeply happy to be around so many different types of people here. My mother and I will dig again in the morning and will then be packing up to head back to the states. Several of us head home tomorrow - but many others will remain to finish the season. I hope to post a final entry before taking off at the airport. I am very thankful to Dr. Schuler for sharing his passions with us and I am looking forward to seeing loved ones soon!
