Day 30

Friday



I got up and went to the market with Iris. Everyone else was either in the hospital or packing to leave that afternoon. We got the fruit & vegetables for everyone, and I purchased some fresh bread for myself and others. We made it back in a taxi in time to have lunch with everyone.

Soon after lunch, James & Jodi, and Johan & Lindsay all left. They were going to do a bit of site seeing for a week or so after James & Johan finished their international elective there. We saw them all off as they left for the airport, and I admit it was very emotional for me. James & Johan had arrived after me and left before me. And once they left, pretty much everyone I was with for my first two or so weeks in Bolivia, were now all gone. I also had the realization coming to me that I would be leaving too. All in all, it was an emotional day.

We did our weekly Friday afternoon Wallyball game which was fun, as usual. Afterwards we came home and had dinner and got ready for Saturday. Just kinda got the heads up on what we'd be doing. The only information we really got, was that it was an evangelistic conference for youth. It was advertised as a place for them to practice their English. We knew that there would be activities for the youth, and then we could go swimming in the pool and there would be a sauna. It was such a broad mix of stuff, we had no clue what to expect! So, we would find that out on Saturday!
