work dance party

It is about 5 in the evening here and we are winding down from putting a concrete floor in. We left about 7 this morning to go and when we got there, no one was there. So Eric took us to get some fried bacon grease donut balls with sugar on top. Yum. Then we went back to the site and started mixing concrete. We had 50 wheelbarrows of sand and then i lost count of everything else. needless to say it was a ton of concrete. Around 11 or so we stopped for lunch and the Mamas made us some sandwiches :). So nice! Then i got to meet some of my facebook friends who i speak to in French, so that was wonderful! Here is the best part though, they brought out this huge sound system and started playing music while we were working. At this point there must have been 30 Gabonese people working alongside us and mostly instead of us. haha. As the music got louder, we all started dancing. It was ridiculous the way it all looked. We looked like we were in a musical or something. The Mamas were dancing waiting to return the wheelbarrows to the men to fill with cement. The men were dancing with their shovels doing the African shovel dance. B holler and I had our own private dance lesson from Demetri who then gave us a shout out "Shallom to my sisters!" Giant dance/work party was basically what today consisted of. We came home and watched a movie to fall asleep to and now Nate and B holler are passed out on the couches in our living room/home theater...I am so excited to come home, but i am not sure how i am going to leave this. My brothers and sisters here, oh man. And the hope house kids. Its starting to hit...only 12 more days. Why did this summer fly by? Maybe i will stay another month....
