It is Hard to Say Goodbyeby 66029833 | October 15, 2009 1:07 PM
It is incredibly hard having to say so many goodbyes.
We woke up early yesterday to have the kids from Buttonwood Elementary come on over to the church for an assembly. There were over 200 little dumplings inside that we got to love on, sing with and talk with.
Later in the day we went to a different nursing home in the city were we split up, got to talk with the adults and sung hymns withe adults there. It is really hard to be there, knowing that they do not get people coming to spend time with them very often. But praise God for the time that were able to have.
We went back to the orphanage for one final time. I don't even know if I can attempt to put that into words. We did say our goodbyes though, and had our last final conversations with our specific children. We tried to pour as much love and encouragement into them that them would have!
And to finish off the night we had a concert with the Heavenlies and had our final goodbyes with everyone at church. But it is different, since it is not goodbye but rather see you a little bit later.
Snorkeling was great today, however we have a few lobsters with us now, but none the less, God is good and we are so thankful to see yet another part of God's splendor.
