Final Day Fun and Goodbyes . . .
Host families are very important.
Each team member had a host family to live with during the trip. These families were very gracious to open their homes. Their participating in our project is very significant.

A note from Luke Brenneman
I went to a nearby beach with one of my free talk groups and some of their friends on Saturday. It was such an authentic experience! The water was kind of murky, but we had a really good time swimming, walking, talking, and eating fruit on the beach. Then we went out to eat at an open-air, seaside restaurant, where I think we ate every fish that ever lived in the ocean!
My host family took Ruth and I to their grandparents’ house in a rural village. We got to see the traditional side of China, which was great! We saw rice fields and farmers, an outdoor alligator enclosure with 200 gators (they raise them for restaurants), and picked dragon eyes for dinner. We then had a big dinner with the whole family, and it was a great time! Iris (my host cousin), Ruth, and I posed for this picture after dinner.
Camp activities are in full swing during the last week.
Each day in the morning “free talk” begins with an opening. Today Matt talked about a challenging topic for people speaking English as a second language, parenting.
