Last Day in Merida!

Hola amigos!

Our team had a fantastic last day! We got an extra hour of sleep, had an amazing breakfast, and then stayed at the church to do some clean up work. We pulled weeds, painted the gym and classrooms, and touched up the fences and doors. After finishing our work for the day, we had spaghetti and fajitas for lunch, which was a very interesting combination. We then were given time to rest and pack before heading to an earlier than usual large group.
      In large group we sang many songs, and everyone had the opportunity to share what they had learned or gained from this trip and the people on it. Many tears were shed, and hearts were happy while worshiping the Lord. After worship we broke into our small groups to discuss our final memories and experiences from the trip. I think everyone can agree that bonds were formed that can never be broken on this trip.
     Heading into dinner, we were surprised with a Mariachi band, and sang songs and danced with our  friends at Shalom Church. While eating dinner we sang karaoke, which was probably the highlight of my day. The entire team let loose and enjoyed each other's company as we said our last goodbyes to the people at Shalom Church, and headed back to the hotel to prepare for our long day of traveling tomorrow.
   As our trip comes to a close, It is important that we remember all the friendships that were formed and all the experiences that were had here in the beautiful city of Merida, Mexico.
