Hola! I'm sure that you have all missed us. We are currently in Kansas City after a full day of travel. After some games of intense signs, most of the troops have gone to bed, but the trip leader, Timeteo, and the tortugas fuertes are still up. Too bad there is no basketball hoop so that the Tortugas could show Timeteo how it's done in 21.

Anywho, yesterday was a muy triste (very sad) day for all of us. The afternoon was wrapped up with the kids at the church. We sang some songs, danced, shared some great insights, and left the children with a few small gifts.

Then came the hard part: saying good-bye.

Lets just say that I was bawling. Literally. It was so hard to say good-bye to the kids after such a great week and getting to know each of them. I seriously will miss each of their smiles, their laughs, and being greeted by them every morning with joy. I think we each feel incredibly lucky to have had the chance to be a part of their lives on this trip, we will never forget them!

We still have 7 hours until we are home, so we better get some sleep! So goodnight and can't wait to see all of you!
