Well the last two days have been.... interesting! Work has been tough. Yesterday one of my crewmembers didn't show up, and then in the afternoon all of my day workers (Sierra Leonians who get paid) left without talking to anyone or giving an explanation. My manager suggested a few things; that we use paper plates, or only open one food line instead of two, but I was determined my team would not run from a challenge but rise up to the challenge - and they did! They weren't the prettiest or most flawless of meals, but everyone got fed and everything got done, and my team rocked it. This morning one of my team members again did not show up and we didn't have any day workers, so three of us managed again to rise to the occasion and it was brilliant. I love my team and even might go as far as saying I really like being a team leader... because they are so awesome and my new manager, Ken, is super supportive. Wahoo.

So today is Saturday, yesterday was a ships holiday so there aren't very many people on board right now. It's quiet and I really like that. That's probably how we actually survived the last three meals with such a small staff, too!

An awesome article about Peace Corps and so true: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/maya-lau/what-the-peace-corp-taugh_b_1099202.html?ref=fb&src=sp&comm_ref=false

That's all I have for today. I finally sat down and updated my resume, if anyone wants to hire me, please email me. :) Peace, krissy

One month from today I say goodbye to Africa! CRAZY!
