Day Nine: Home!

hello all!

We were all very sad to have to leave DR this morning... we have grown rather accustomed to the place! It truly felt like home for the week-and-a-bit! Thanks to all our hosts for making this such an enjoyable experience!!

So we woke up around 7 and breakfasted at 7:30 this morning. We then packed and did our team devotions before we left the ministry for the airport at 11:00 with our pals :)

Our flight left right on time around 2:00 pm and we landed safely and on time in JFK around 6:00. Our second flight left at 8ish after dinner, and we landed in CANADA (we were very happy to see friendly customs officers) twenty minutes early! Most of our parents came to meet us at the terminal, and despite our being fairly unwilling to leave DR, we were actually happy to be home (I would personally return in a heartbeat!)

Adios, Republica Dominicana! Hopefully we can return soooooon!!!
