On Wednesday October 17 we became flexible again. Our plans changed just a bit. We painted rooms at the Cure Hospital on the 16th and realized the rooms needed a second coat to the walls so we would be sure to cover the red that was there.  Four members from the team went back to the Cure to paint walls while Myron and Sherridan got an opportunity to observe a surgery. The remaining team members stayed at the guest house to organize suitcases and pack for the next few days. We packed the Wade’s belongings that we brought for them and also the things for orphanage (Bethzatha.)  One of the elders at Korah, Ato Abera wanted to meet with us once again before leaving on a trip.  Leanne asked him if he wanted to come to lunch with us, we went to Tivoli’s, the same restaurant we went to on Saturday for dinner. After lunch we went to the silk factory, Sabahre we got a tour and saw scarves being made, then had the opportunity to purchase scarves that were made. From Sabahre we went to Home Accents, which is a store where you can purchase decorations for the home. This is the place that Leanne gets many of her scarves. We returned to the guest house, freshened up and left for the Wade’s house for dinner. Once there we congregated in their living room and talked. We ate a delicious meal prepared by their house worker, Genet, consisting of bow tie pasta and sauce, corn and garlic bread. After dinner we had cake! The team was able to present a gift to Genet to support her boys schooling.  We had to eat by candle light since the power was off and on all night. They did not regain power while were there. Once back at the guest house Linda lead the devotion and made plans for the morning.  Written by: Clarissa
