Day 7:
Friday March 23. 2012
The last day in the Dominican was very bitter sweet. I was so excited to see everyone that we had met, but I never knew it would be so hard to say good-bye to people I had only known for a week. Paula and Joana were so sweet and they got each of us going away gifts. The actual gift didn't really matter to me, I was so touched that they want to love us in that way. Erin was stung by a bee on the foot the night before so we were one lion short most of the day so that was pretty sad. We started out the day by going to the Conde Street and shopping. It had a lot of tourist shops and everyone there was very eager to have you buy from them. I am sooooo bad at bargaining but I was glad that Ben helped me talk a guy into letting us buy two bags of coffee for three dollars each. After we went shopping we got some food. Ben had this fried mongu thing with cheese in and it was heavenly. Then we went and bought A LOT of candy just for the heck of it. We ended up giving it out to the people in our English group. We had our last English group and we played a game that everyone got into. After Bible Study we had a huge party outside. God answered a huge prayer in that it looked like it was going to rain all day but it never did! It was so difficult to say good-bye to everyone but what a great thought that I will see them in heaven someday even if I never see them on this earth. It was pretty overwhelming to think about especially with people who had just come to know Christ that week. What a joy!
