Hello Parents!
Greetings once again from Africa! Sad to say this will be the last email you will be getting from us before you get to see our lovely faces.
Here's a quick run through of the day. We split up into two groups this morning. One group stayed at Thorns to Hear a speaker talk about her battle with HIV/AIDS and the other group went to a Mental Hospital (I'm sure you can figure out who those people were... Joke!). Both group really enjoyed themselves and each learned something new as we always do. We reconvened to do some shopping at the Basotho Hat. It's a store that sells Lesotho souvenirs. I noticed quite a few kids buying things so get ready for some presents coming your way!
We had lunch at Nando's in place of meeting the king. We got to enjoy Magnum bars (ice cream) so I think we all agree it was a fair trade off!
We came back in the afternoon to pack up our belongings for the last time and say goodbye to our little friends. We are all sad to leave this beautiful country, but are very happy to be coming home to you.
This trip has been an emotional rollercoaster to say the least, but we are all leaving with great memories and a broader understanding on a new culture and life itself.
If at any time you need to get a hold of us, please feel free to contact Chris Hymns at (0027)824550044. He will be able to get in contact with us so don't hesitate to call!
We can't wait to see your lovely faces when we arrive back in America. We love and miss you all very much.
Love Love Love,
Tarah Pike and Marisa Perez
