Last day in the DR

Today was our last full day in the DR. We spent the day visiting a few tourist spots like the Columbus Museum. We then spent the afternoon at Boca Chica beach. We walked around this resort area and shopped then spent some time on the beach. It was a fun day.

We then headed over to Casa de Luz for the final time. We ate dinner and then said goodbye to the staff and children. I wish you could all have experienced the people at Casa de Luz. They were such great hosts but more important they were a picture of servanthood and love. They made our stay there great  but the thing that impressed me most was their love for the children. The are an incredibly gifted group of people with more patience, love and kindness than I believe I have ever seen.

We said thank you to the staff and then one by one said good bye to the kids. It was very emotional. We really did fall in love with these beautiful children. They really did give us so much more than we could have ever given them. I know our team has been forever changed because of them.

Tomorrow we will board our plane at 1:15 pm. The morning will be spent  packing, traveling to the airport and getting checked in. Please pray for safe travel and that we will not run into any delays or bad weather.

I look forward in the next few weeks and months to sharing more about our trip to the DR and how you might be a part of our next trip. Thanks for checking this blog. Check back again for information about future trips and updates on Casa de Luz.
