Today was a hard day for all of us on team Peru. The time has come to start saying our goodbyes to all of the friends that we have made here in Peru. We started out our day by going to church in Las Brisas for the last time. We were acknowledged by the congregation and had an opportunity to say thank you to everyone whom we have worked with. It has really started to hit home that we are actually leaving to come back to Canada tomorrow. We have been so blessed by all of the people we have gotten to know. We are really going to miss them. After church, we went over to Virgin de la Paz to say thank you to the people there. Rufina cried when she thanked us for the work that we have done...wow. These people have so little and yet they have given us so much. Then we walked back home and went out for lunch. After lunch we did more visiting to say goodbye. We went over to Cerropon where we helped with VBS and said goodbye to the kids. Then we went out to San Antonio for their church service and to say goodbye. I don't think that we really realized how we have touched these people's lives until today. We had communion in church today which was a really nice way to close out our time here. After San Antonio we came home and have been hanging out and packing all evening. It is hard to believe that our time here is almost over. In the morning we are going to the beach with our Peruvian friends and then we will have time to finish our packing before we go to the airport.
Thank you so much for all of your prayers and support. Please pray for a safe journey home and also pray that we wouldn't shed too many tears saying goodbye tomorrow. See you all soon!
