After having packed up almost everything last night, we started our day a little later this morning at 8:45 a.m. and had everything in the cars ready to go before the last event of the trip. The church hosted a small fair with some activities for children, a medical station, a clown show, and PLENTY of great food. We welcomed the boys from the children’s home we visited yesterday the same way the church welcomed us: a loud chorus of oles and by giving them a few gifts we were able to purchase with donations you gave for the trip. Once we finished passing out gifts, we got to play outside with them and throw a frisbee, play soccer and baseball, and even jump around in a bouncy house.
A clown showed up after we had been outside and put on a fantastic show for the kids that also incorporated a bible lesson. After this we ate lunch together and got to hang out with the kids before having prayer service were we and the members of the church got to pray over each the children. Following that, the church members asked to do the same for us before we said our (very hard) goodbyes and headed out to the airport at 1:15 p.m. We boarded our slightly delayed flight at about 4 pm heading to Tampa from San Juan. At 7:30 p.m. we arrived at the Tampa airport and are currently waiting to board our connection to RDU at 9 p.m. We are so thankful for safe travels and will keep you updated once we safely land in North Carolina and will post the pictures from today in that post as well.
