The EWB team, other than me, left Luanda last week and should be arriving back home about now. We had a great time and it seems strangely quiet with them gone. The little kids are doing their best to keep me entertained though. The day after the team left was a bit sad. Not only was everyone gone, but I talked to my mom on the phone and she told me my dog Maggie had passed away. She died in her sleep and my dad said that she seemed really peaceful, but I’m upset that I wasn’t there with her. I guess that's the suckiest part about not being near home. Benson’s youngest kids came over to cheer me up and sang lots of songs with me and I talked to Jimmy on the phone so that helped. I’m feeling a bit better now, but I really miss Maggie.

On a better note, the water project is finished and people keep coming to me and thanking me for bringing them water. I’m passing their thanks along to the team.

I’m going to go eat yummy millet and sorgum/cassava porridge as a snack while I work (it’s almost as tasty as raiding the extra sandwiches with you Ellie, though not quite as fun).
