Well it is Friday morning here and the teachers and assistants are working with the students to prepare for the closing ceremony this afternoon. There are many goodbyes being said and the students are giving us many little gifts. I sure there will be tears as we leave this afternoon.

Yesterday afternoon we played human clue. It was a great time. We had 9 teams of 8 students each all trying to find out who killed Mr. Body. Team members did a skit before the game to introduce the students to the characters in the game. We did this outdoors on the Yunan University campus. Needless to say we drew a crowd of onlookers as the students completed challenges such as building pyramids, trying to put a ball into a cup, put a puzzle together and answer questions. In the end, 2 teams came up with the correct person, weapon and place. The students really enjoyed this activity.

We will leave tomorrow morning around 6:30 am for the airport. We need you to remember us during this time. Yesterday, air traffic to Beijing was diverted as far away as Xi’An due to severe weather in Beijing. They received one half of their total monthly rainfall yesterday in one day.

Here are some messages from your loved ones:
