We had our last VBS with the kids today at the Mission House. We had maybe around 30+ kids here. A breath of fresh air after the 300+ kids we had on Thursday. But it was also our final day with the Guatemalans. It's always an emotional day for the team… or for those of us who show our emotions, right Pastor? The team enjoyed having lunch again with the Guatemalans, and shortly after we started our VBS. When the VBS was over we only had a few hours left with our Guatemalans. So everyone is getting their picture taken with everyone and gifts are being exchanged with those who sponsored Guatemalans. Then the hard part comes when we have to say goodbye. Getting hugs from most of them before they headed out. Its amazing how close we get to each other here only being with them for such a short time. It is so hard to say goodbye because we do not want to leave. The week here has gone by so fast. It's been so nice being away from the busy, hectic life back home. Things are much simpler in Guatemala and that is a breath of fresh air… not that the air is clean here, because it‘s not.
We do long to be home with our families and being able to eat meat again! We will not miss having to go fishing anymore, or sleeping with snorer.
