Last Few Hours

Back at the house from our last medical caravan. I'm pretty much packed, just finishing our last meetings with Tim and Meredith. I can't believe we'll be on our plane in several hours... Time has flown, but the memories and relationships made here will last forever.

Today was bittersweet as we worked with the members of the medical caravan. It was awesome to remenisce with the people I have aided these last three months. We sat down to eat lunch and found ourselves talking about funny stories of each caravan. Like the time...Tim ran Joseph's truck into a huge mudhole OR the tire on Joseph's truck fell off three separate times OR when Natalie had a push-up competition with Joey in Ndjole. It was fun to talk about those times with the people I consider my family. Towards the end of the caravan, Mama Jeanine and Pastor Jacob surprised me with a couple of shirts and shorts made for me. You never expect gifts, but that's exactly what we got. Each one of the interns also got a elephant carved out of wood. Arican also gave me a small elephant, awesome. He's one of my good friends that I have gotten to know here. It's hard to leave, but I look at it as "See you later!" More to come on Saturday when I'm back in Pittsburgh.

P.S. - We saw a man filleting two sharks this morning. Crazy!
