Today was another chill day. We were planning on getting up early to go to church at the Akha village by 6:30, but we accidentally slept through. Oops. We did end up going to the very beginning of a church meeting later that day though. They are catholic & have a few different meetings through out the day. The priest is a very very old white man. I guess he must live around here & conducts their church meetings every week. It was an interesting experience. We left early though & went to lahu & handed out a bunch of bracelets that we have been making for them. Just a little something to leave behind & give the kids. We didn't have anything planned at the villages, we were just going there to hang out & let Shivanni say goodbye to everyone because she leaves tomorrow. Abby left today. Sad. Things are a little quieter without her. Haha this morning she took family portraits at the Akha village & we're gonna get them printed out to give to them. That was one of her project ideas she wanted to do. Good thing she got it done last day!!
