Saying Good-bye

    After breakfast, morning devotions were led by Tom. Tom felt the Spirit calling him to use the story of Elijah.

    Many last errands always need to be done before leaving. After packing suitcases and picking up the house the team went different ways: to deliver the purchased mattresses to needy families, the banker, to purchase funded items, etc.

    After a final inspection of the completed pavilion the entire team met at Pastor Nelson's village to help serve food as part of the feeding program the team funds. Over 120 children were in attendance. More prayers and thanksgivings before going back to the house in Azua.

    After a team photo in front of the house and final good-byes to Pablito, Dorcas, Palbo and Ruth, Genesis and the team arrived in the capitol about 4pm. Many stores and restaurants were closed due to the DR holiday (Independence) so they checked into the hotel, freshened up and found a restaurant on the square which is within walking distance.

    A final debrief took place in the hotel courtyard. It was the wrap-up for the week focusing on what went right, what could be improved on and final thoughts and thank-you's. The team went to their rooms around 11 for a 3:30 wake-up to make the long journey home.
