Eighth big post!

The last day is now here - we leave Apolo this afternoon, heading to La Paz, then Rurrenabaque for our team holiday.

Our last week has been really great - the concrete pillars are now done, and the second layer of supports are just about ready to be poured. Unfortunately, we did not get onto bricklaying, but the amount we have done in five weeks is phenomenal!
We have also continued with most of the youth groups, one of which now has a possible leader for when we leave, so thanks for your prayers for that. Also this week, we led most of the services at the Lutheran church in the morning, and at the Baptist church in the evening. This included lots of songs, worship dance, a drama, testimonies, a presentation of photos of our work here, and the sermons (done by Aaron and Jon respectively).
Last night, we also held a buffet, with fairly-close-to-English food, for all the people we have got to know in Apolo. It was really well attended and a really fun evening.

So, we now have our team holiday, where we are heading into the rainforest to Rurrenabaque. We then have a few days in La Paz before Jonathan, James, Anna and Annie head home. Claire, Aaron and Jon are then going to Brazil for a few weeks.

Prayer points:-
- For our travelling - that we would be safe, and have an enjoyable and relaxing time before heading home
- For Pete and Linda - that they would be able to find people to take over the youth groups, and continue the good work they are doing here
- For the people here - that our presence will have benefited them, and that they would be keen to help finish the work we have started, especially finishing the Sunday school.

Thanks for all your support, and see you soon!
