Well we have come the that point in our trip again. Today was our last day out at the orphanage and you could tell that many people were not ready to leave when the buses pulled out of that gate for the last time this trip. It is amazing when you look back and see what our group has accomplished in this short week while we were here. The ditch digging crew got over a 1/4 mile of drainage ditch dug and 60 tons of rock moved into the trenches. The painting crew got 57 panels painted that bolster the orphanage's security in the future. The carpenter team built 4 new storage cabinets for several different houses and did a lot of repair work on some of the existing cabinets. The block laying group got four layers of block laid on Harvest House, which doesn't seem like a lot, but in the end the progress speaks for itself. Goodbyes are always the hardest part of this trip. Saying goodbye to the kids, the staff, and the amigos is very tough, but I know I will be back soon so it makes it a little easier. Each and every person at the orphanage touches your heart in some way or another. Tomorrow will hold another difficult goodbye when we leave the hotel and have to say goodbye to the staff that has been absolutely amazing to us and catered to our every need. Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers for this group. Every single person on this trip has been absolutely amazing. I'll leave you with a couple pictures that I took today. We all send our love and thoughts home and will be seeing everyone shortly.
