The day we least look forward to has arrived. After breakfast and devotions we headed off for our final day at the orphanage. We finished the floor in the boys dorm, but unfortunately the other boys kitchen was not far enough along for us to be able to tile it. The others finished sorting shoes, and wrapping up the painting, which turned out incredible.
Following lunch it was back to the orphanage for free time with the kids. A local pastor stopped in today and we were able to witness 10 of the kids be baptized. Even at their young age and the situations they never hesitated in answering that they were ready to give their lives to God. Right after that we had a rather insane water balloon fight, followed by a special going away program put together by the kids. After some great entertainment we cooked supper for the kids. What a feast that turned out to be! Fireworks once again preceded the tearful goodbye's. Even though this is my fourth time the leaving is never easy, but we thank the Lord for the week he has blessed us with, the friendships that were made, the lives that are forever effected, and the memories never to be forgotten.
