Supplies!Surpise! El Fin

There are a million different ways to express today's events, but what comes to my mind is bitter sweet. Everything that has been so routine this week turned into the final time we may ever do or see it again. This made the day go very fast and before we knew it we were saying our goodbyes. We had finished the seminary, both in and out, and finished other small projects. Then we had some free time at the school with the local children.  Some played sports while others sat and talked with their new found friends. We then proceeded to give out some food and gave many baseball gloves to the coach, who would later distribute them to kids who didn't have one. It was also a very touching to see the kids swarm for some leftover water in our cooler. To say the least, it was very humbling. We then started the goodbyes, and plenty of hugs and handshakes were shared with the kids and adults of Palmar Arriba. After dragging some of the youth away from the kids, we started the van ride back to the Kellers. At the house, we had our debriefing from Pastor Walter who has been a missionary here for 7 years. Side fact, he speaks 3 languages (Spanish, Portuguese, English). He stressed the fact that the mission doesn't stop here. That the mission is in BLC, in your neighborhood, and in our country. The meeting was very emotional, as life and hearts were being transformed. We then had devo's and announcements for our exciting day at the beach tomorrow.
