Sigel's version of working with a team

Above - Sigel - he's grown up so much! / below - this is the entire team giving Sigel a goodbye hug - he's somewhere there in the middle.
below: the back porch of the team house before we screened it in. This team put on the wood and varnished the entire porch including ceiling!

This is Sigel's rendition of our week with the team:

Last week we went to Comayagua for a team.
We travel for a long time, the team got there in the night. On Sunday we went to church with the team. On Monday we started working then we went to a school. I met new friends and I gave nicknames to almost all of them. Then I start riding in the bus with them. I had a lot of fun riding in the bus with them. Almost always we made a lot of joke in the bus. We always worked so hard and by lunch time we finish working and then we went to Schools.
My favorite part was spending time with my new friends. I spent more time with my new friends than my family [ that week] my mom stayed in a hotel so I couldn’t see her a lot. I gave my email address to my friends and they gave their email address. I always ride with them in the bus and my favorite I always ride in the back of the bus because is the best place to make jokes. The harder part was to say good bye, but they email me.

Sigel had a great week and Tristan and I almost didn't see him :) the whole week! He has grown up so much - usually sticking to our side and not wanting to be around new people - well this week he showed us how much he is growing up - choosing to ride in the bus instead of with us etc.

* It is now Friday the week after the team and we are still recovering. we had been away from home for 10 days (Tristan 12) because of the team. We got home this last Monday and since they have been working on catching up on sleep and laundry - Maddy isn't helping with either of those :). We came home with all the sheets and towels from the team - 30+ of each plus clothes from 10 days of working for 5 people... am I EVER going to catch UP? :)
