Home time

Well it's come time to go home. We will all miss the Dominican so much but we also are all ready to be home. We got up at 7 for breakfast and finished our last bit of packing and getting ready to leave. Franklin couldn't drive us to the airport since he had to pick up another team from a different airport and so we had to say our goodbyes to him and Mario before we left. We thank Franklin for everything he did for us, being our translator and our driver and being so loving towards us all. We are glad we could meet him and become friends with him and we wish him the Lord's blessings in the work he continues to do for CoCref. We all got in the bus and headed out on our 3 hour drive to the airport. We stopped about halfway at a restaurant by the ocean and ate some food and got some snacks for the plane ride. It was nice to be able to sit by the ocean for one last time on such a beautiful day. It's too bad it was rainy a lot of the week and nice the day we leave but there's nothing we could do about it but be thankful for the sun when we left. When we got to the airport it was pretty busy so it's a good thing we got there really early. Once we had gone through security and everything else we sat in the foodcourt for about 3 hours till it was time to go. We all were excited for a change in food from rice and beans and pork to burgers and fries. :P We finally got on the plane at about 4:30 and were on our way back to Toronto. It was a very nice flight, smooth flying, comfy seats and tvs. We landed in Toronto at 7:30 and got through to our luggage very quickly. Unfortunately we had to wait for our luggage for 2.5 hours due to the doors on the plane freezing shut. We finally got our luggage and said our goodbyes and headed on home in the freezing weather. None of us miss the warmth that's for sure. :P We all are so thankful for the trip we could experience together. It was a blessing for all of us and we thank God for working in us to make the impact we did and for keeping us safe through our travels and the time we spent there.
