We had to say goodbye to the children this afternoon before they went to school because we won't see most of them again before we leave. It is difficult, because we feel we have just begun to deepen relationships.
It is very moving to have the children surround us and pray for our safe travel, for our families at home who are ready to see us, and to thank God for the blessings they have received since we have been there. Daniel said the prayer this time and he is so well-spoken. It is humbling.
Most of them know our team and know that we will indeed be back in another year!
Some of the team left for more shopping and others decided to stay at the boys or girls home this afternoon.
Tonight we will go out to eat with the house parents from 2 homes, along with Steve and Hope.
Tomorrow is a travel day, so blogging may not be possible!
