Day 7: Saying Goodbye Is Never Easy

Today was an emotional rollercoaster!

It was our last day at the school! 

When we arrived at the schhol this morning, all the students were assembled in a bigger classroom and they were ready to do an assembly of singing and dancing for us. They were amazing! Each class had a little something different prepared, and we enjoyed every moment of it. We were treated as kings today and we feel so humbled by it. We are just 6 guys that love Jesus and want to share that love with the world. 

The principle had a gift for each of us and we presented the school a wooden cross made by Shannon, along with a Newfoundland and Canada flag. 

Then we spent time playing with the kids. We enjoyed a soccer game, and one team member was used as a monkey bar, LOL.

After lunch the work began. We poured cement for the floor until we ran out of water. However, we accomplished all that was desired from us while here, so we are leaving a very happy team.

Goodbye's are never easy, and today was no different. Saying goodbye to those we worked alongside and the principle was very emotional for us all. As we climbed in the van to leave the school for the last time, there was tears shed by the team.

One more day left in this beautiful country before we head home on Friday.

Blessings,

Team Newfoundland
