Over the past week I've been busy spending time with wonderful friends and enjoying some culminating activities. I remember the beginning of my term here and experiencing so many "firsts." Now, with only 20 days until departure, I'm transitioning to a very different phase of noting the "lasts." On Tuesday, we had our last team meeting here in Mbarara before the Skinners go home for furlough. On Friday, we had our last day of school, and Martha spent her last night here at this house before moving into her new apartment.
On Wednesday, I had the pleasure of attending a "Visual and Performing Arts Show" where Dade displayed his artwork from this school year and Martha's piano students had a recital. We were so proud of all of them! It has been an honor to be a part of these families' lives over the past year and a joy to watch their children grow in so many ways.
On Friday, after a bit of final school work in the morning, we celebrated the last day of school by playing games outside, making homemade ice cream, and reflecting on our favorite memories from the past year. It was a school year full of surprising changes and unexpected blessings! Lots of laughter and a few tears shed by all... But the wonderful memories are too many to count!
