last days

In about one hour our internet and lights are being cut off so we wanted to post one last blog before we head home to become Seattliets again.

We're making it through the awkward week but not without tears and sadness for the people we leave behind. Our staff threw us a good-bye party on Wednesday complete with our favorite foods,  a little dancing, and some touching words of how God was a work while we were here. I have added some pictures below. As part of a game they made Scott dance with the shortest person at the office (shockingly it wasn't me) and they made me imitate 3 people on staff (something I like to do often). They invited some of the kids from our special education programs to come and say thank you which was really special for me.

We have spent the rest of this week hanging out with new made friends from chruch, saying good-bye to old friends, and of course packing. On Monday we leave Barahona early and head to the east coast for a short vacation before we head home. We can't wait to see you all soon and share more stories about life down here.
