We made it back!

It is crazy when you wake up in the morning on one side of the globe and end up on the other side by the end of the day. Everything went fairly smoothly. A few gate changes but over all. Very simple. Now I bid you good night!

LAST DAY!!

We all just got back from our various schools! It is all so bitter sweet. Mom Mr. Rob and Mrs. Nan will be speaking tonight at the teachers tea tonight. Laura and I will sing How he loves. And then we will do our final packing. We leave at around midnight. Drive in the car for 3 hours. Get on a plane. Fly. Land in Germany. Wait for plane. Fly again. Land in Charlotte. Then get on another plane. Fly. Then we will be home!!!! YAY!!!!!! Here are the pictures I owe you.

The church


I will show more pictures when we get home.

Sad good byes!

We NEVER got to say good bye to our kids at the various places which was very sad!!!! It rained all day long!
But at the same time thank goodness it did. Because we needed to pack up the bags for our school outings tomorrow! We tied up bows. We pumped up balls. We counted everything. We would have been up until 1 in the morning and still would not have been done!!! So it was a VERY GOOD thing that we got to stay!
Tonight we did our last service.... Our last show... And said our last good byes... It was very very sad. We may see some people tomorrow at the schools. But only few.
It is amazing how close our group got. The translators and our team. And the kids and our team. It is sooooo sad that we will be leaving soon. I think that we all hope to come back! And (at least for me) If I could do it all over again I would not change a thing! Everyone has been TERRIFIC! It blows my mind how hard we have worked and how much we have accomplished. We learned so much! How to listen. How to talk to someone who speaks a different language. How to make balloon animals very quickly! And SO much more!
I will try to post tomorrow. But it will be crazy!

A Wee bit of rain!

So i do not think that we will be able to go out for our morning program do to a little rain. But as of right now the afternoon one is still gonna happen! I am so sad that today is our last day with the kids!!!! Tomorrow we get up VERY early and hand out stuff at the schools. That evening we will have teachers teas. I can not believe that it is almost OVER!! It is so sad. We have all made great friendships with the kids and adults that have come to our programs! It is going to be sad to say good bye! But we have also made AMAZING friends out of our translators! They are all so great! They will be the hardest to leave. 2 days til our plane ride home... Sad and happy but sad. I think most everyone agrees that we all want to come back again! There really is nothing like being here!
I can not post pictures right now but I will try to later.
