Hey friends. Sorry it's been so long since I posted anything on here. It's hard to believe it's already March 24, and I head home in just three days. On one hand, it feels like I've been here forever, and yet on the other hand, it's still very surreal that I'm leaving so soon. Since the beginning of the trip, everyone asks "kile ou prale Etazini?", meaning "when will you go to America?" When the answer was "ven set Mas" (27th of March), it was normally met with a response of "oh, that's a long time from now", but now, I don't even need to say ven set mas, because now i just say "Mardi" (Tuesday). so crazy.
the last couple weeks have been great. having the akron team here two weeks ago and getting to fix cars and such was super fun. excited about the potential idea of having a legit mechanic shop here (or in another third-world context) because of the straight up need for a knowledgeable, good mechanic. fun to meet carissa and sarah (page) from Hoola for Happiness. really enjoyed the great conversations we had throughout those few days, and our excursion together to st. etienne.
also wonderful to have cherith and dan and megan here with travis this week. between the four of them, erica powell, and myself, we had quite the fun little team this week. i love the random projects: from sewing projects to fixing generators to playing soccer at hands and feet, to fixing an outboard motor and moving gravel, to painting murals with glitter and jigsaw puzzles, it's been a great week.
more reflections to come, but for now, back to enjoying the last couple days here.
to Him be the glory!

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:8-10
