Coming Home

The day started like any of the last 5 days. I got up around 6 am along with my roommate Steven and we got ready before anybody else and than about 6:30 am Matt started knocking on all the doors to make sure we all were up and getting ready.

We had our morning prayer and then off to breakfast.

What was different is we were getting ready to go home not to go and work at the school and play with the children.

It was a strange feeling for me at least but as we got ready we all shared thoughts and memories of the last few days.

Another thing that was different is that a certain smell was coming from one room. It was bad. Enough said on that subject. Just BAD.

As like anything we did this week we worked as a team getting stuff loaded and making sure we all had our stuff.

We took one last team picture in front of the retreat house.
I took some pictures of the trip to the airport.

Team work was also at work at the airport as different people stood in different lines to make our process a little bit quicker to maneuver their exit process to make sure we had enough time to get to our gate.

Before we left a few members took advantage of buying JW Blue for a great price at the tax free store.

In Atlanta we said good bye to Katherine as she went her way home and we went ours.
The HONDURAS 11 was now the HONDURAS 10 in numbers only.
We all made it back to Detroit and home before midnight. Katherine let us know she made it home safely also.

Now it was time for each of us to process this experience in our own way and share our thoughts and memories with others and see if we can continue to make a difference but in a different way for the friends we left back in Honduras.
