i haven't updated this is quite a few days cause things have been so busy. i've been more than a little overwhelmed. we've been working hard to finish up the project at yesuanaweza before we leave. the toilets are almost completely finished, the outdoor kitchen area is finished and plumbed and the walls to the school/pastors office are 3/4 of the way finished. lindsey and i have a little more painting to do, but it has rained the past two days, so we've had to put it off. we have one bathroom door to paint and 3 chalk boards to build, paint and put together.
we've been running all over tanzania, trying to see at meet all of wes' contacts as well. he knows some pretty great people here that are running some cool projects.
steve left yesterday. he was ready to get home. it was a pretty unsettling feeling dropping him off at the airport, knowing that in just a few days it'll be me. i've fought back the tears and disappointed feelings since. i'm not ready to come back.
this quite possibly may be the last time i update here until i get back into the states on monday. then i will do my best to fill in all the blanks and post a crap load of photos, so keep checking in.

Wow, that month flew by! I can't believe it. Neither can you I'm sure. I remember exactly what you are feeling...but you will be back. That's what I kept telling myself when I was saying my "goodbyes." Which is so true...I will be back. Abbie, you did so many amazing things to further God's kingdom and His love here on earth. I know He is proud of you as are all of us here. I can't wait to see all your pictures and here all the untold stories. I also want to find out about some of the new contacts you made and see if any of them are possibilities to hook up with and work with next time I go over.
Much love and peace!
