Journal Entries- Mission Trip to Mexico- Day 8
So here is my last installment of journal entries from Mexico. Hope you enjoy!
Our last day there we had a prolonged devotion at breakast and we sang “10,000 Reasons” as a group.
After our breakfast, we packed up the vans and cleaned the dorms and kitchen.
Some of us ran to the Mexican convenience store and got Mexican coke and authentic Mexican candy. It was spicy, sweet, tangy and sour all in one. How does that happen?
Next, the kids got up and we spent the rest of the morning hanging out with them. I played some last soccer with Chuy, Manuel and Aline.
Soon, the call came to pack up in the vans and then well there was lots of hugs and more hugs and even more hugs and goodbyes. Goodbyes are so hard.
The rest is history, I guess. Drive out of the Ranch trying not to cry. Go to the airport. Unpack the vans and say goodbye to the team you worked alongside all week and split up to get to our flights.
We arrived at our gate, and took a flight to Dallas TX and then after a layover we flew to Charlotte, NC. I am not a city girl, but I must say it was pretty to see all the ligts of Charlotte, since we landed at night.
I said goodbye to the team I had flown with (yeah, this was a day of goodbyes) and went down the escalator to see my family.
I saw William and Dad first, they were at the bottom of the esalator and then farther back there was Mom, Celia, Jace and surprise! my best friend Abigail!
And now there were hello and welcome back hugs for once.
We dropped Abigail back off at her house and went home. To bed.
It was an amazing experience and I can’t wait to do it again! (hopefully)
your one and only,
Priscilla
