Finishing well

Suddenly, we are starting to feel like we have a lot yet to do and not much time to do it. We have less than eight weeks here and it feels as if there are still many loose ends that need to be tied up before we move on from here.
Greg has been handing over the daily work to his colleagues who will be in charge after we are gone. It is a good training period for them as they start to fly on their own, but have Greg’s knowledge and expertise to fall back on, if they need it.
Lorenda continues to finish up projects that have been started and not finished or talked about and not done. The next few weeks will be filled with finishing up all the projects that have been started. We feel that it is better to complete some projects and do them well, rather than “half do” a lot of projects.
We really want to “finish well”. Although we are eager to see our family and friends at home, we don’t want that to be our focus. We don’t want to “check out” from here before our time here is done.
Please pray that we will continue to do our best work here even as we prepare to leave. We hadn’t really thought about what a challenge that would present, but it does.
The rain has been starting to taper off- still lots of clouds, thunder and lightning, but less rain. I’m not sure if this means that rainy season is ending or if it just the weather this week. Some people tell us that the rain will continue until we leave. Others tell us that the rain will stop soon and it will be very hot for our last few weeks here. I guess we will just have to wait and see!
