TGIF (again)

Another Friday has rolled by. As with last week, there were several groups leaving today - some left this morning, others packed up after lunch, and yet another packed up and left after supper. It is wonderful to hear the stories some of these groups tell about their interactions with the homeowners they have been helping.

This weekend will be a bit of a challenge - there are still about 150 volunteers here, many of them staying at the church, and there is a wedding tomorrow afternoon at the church and an Eagle ceremony Sunday afternoon. Christus Victor is trying to regain some normalcy to their schedule, which is great, but how normal can things be with 150 extra people floating around???

We begin the countdown on our last week. By this time next week, we should be home and climbing into our own bed - what a wonderful thought! In the meantime, we are wondering who our replacements will be and how much time (if any) we will get to have with them before we leave. Hopefully, these replacements will be identified by mid-week so we can pass on what we know and have learned. It seems that several key people will be changing over the next two or three weeks, so it will be a big challange for everyone.
