My visit in Juba, Day 4

I woke up today and went into town to check what time I was leaving on Saturday. When I got there and checked I was shocked, My flight had been moved up to tomorrow! I was so sad, today was my last day and I had no idea what to do. I wasn't ready to go home yet. Of course I missed my family back home but I felt like Susan was my mom and Abit was my brother. I didn't want to tell them either because I knew that they were just starting to get to know me! As I walked back I tried to think about how I would tell them. When I got into camp I just went up to her and told her that they moved up my flight and I couldn't change it. She was very sad but she knew exactly what to do for the last day of my visit. She took me to her friends farm. I looked around and there was HUGE elephants. I had an idea of what I was going to do but I didn't think I could do it because I had no money. I asked her what I was in for and I guessed right. I am going to ride and elephant. She told me that it was free because it was her friends farm. As I got on the elephant I was terrified. But when I got to the top I felt like I was on top of the world. It was the coolest thing ever. I never wanted to get off. I rode the elephant for about 15 minutes and then I had to get off. When I got off I almost fell about 5 feet down but i didn't. That was definatly the highlight of my short trip there. When we got back to camp, dinner was already prepared. A lot of people joined us for dinner and after that they taught me how to sing a song. It was a very fun and memorable last night.
