Last day in the DR

How do I put into words the experiences of this past week? There are no words that can do it justice. No words to describe what it is to meet s kid on Sunday and have him feel like family before the week is out. No words to describe the poverty it our own lives when we see all the love that these people have and give.

No doubt all 9 of us will tell a different story when asked what we learned. Be prepared and consider yourself warned if you do venture to ask the question for you may get an answer that seems to have no end.

It is an amazing thing to see love kick down the doors of a language barrier and be communicated through a few moments of playing with tinker toys.

As we step back on the plane tomorrow our lives will definitely not be the same. We have been changed. I don't know how someone can spend time around these boys and not be changed. It may take a while to process so please be patient if we cannot communicate all that we have experienced the moment we return.

I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say that as I get on that plane tomorrow I will leave a part of me here.
