Friday- hard goodbyes

Today was the last day for our team before we return home. It was a fun filled, but bittersweet day. Dave and Ty finished laying block for the new bathroom stalls, and then went up the hill to help expand the "pig hotel". The rest of the crew worked at several crafts with the children, including paracord bracelets (which were a real hit) bookmarks, and writing cards. We also shared cards and pictures from our DRE children with the kids at Alpha y Omega. They loved seeing the cards and trying to read them. We took extra time to play, laugh and even sing with our new friends today. After  many pictures, hugs and a time of prayer together we had to say goodbye. These amazing children and adults at Alpha y Omega have been a real blessing to our team.
After returning to our hotel, we got cleaned up and then went out with a group of our Honduran friends to Power Chicken! It was great. After dinner we debriefed for a while, Josh led us in devotions, we threw lots of candy wrappers at Bob, and then got ready for our final goodbyes and our travel tomorrow. We are tired and maybe a little sore, but we have been blessed by the love, joy, hospitality and hope that we have experienced here all week long.
Good night!

Brent for the team

Thanks for the daily blogs. Sounds like you had an amazing week. It is always hard to say goodbye but know that you have touched the lives of a few of God's children for the better.
