Well......the day has come that we were all dreading. The day we leave. We're off to a sandy spot for a couple of days. Last night we had a wonderful time at the Rancho where we performed a rousing Hallelejah and a soulful mashup. We also watched a talented group of kids sing and dance. The teenage girls were particularily upset about saying goodbye to friends they had quickly bonded with.
On reflection this experience has been incredible. We often face new experiences with trepidation and this was no different. There were also concerns about how much impact we could make over such a short period. To Kirsten, Lauren and the teams credit, really solid connections were made with local physicians and community leaders. This tact will surely pave the way for more directed and fruitful missions in the future. The community really appreciated our efforts.
The coordination by Mark, Peter King and Colin were instrumental in our success.
Hopefully this trip has been life changing for the members of the group: New Friendships, New Connections, Lifelong Interests in Mission Work.
Over and out. Pete B.
