Good Bye Blackwood

-

Today was our last day in Blackwood I miss all of the children so much already.  It is unsubscribe how much I have learned thus far this week.  I am overwhelmed by love everyone both here in the Bahamas and everyone on my team is so loving.  My heart literally broke when I was saying good bye to all of the Blackwood kids.  We taught all of the children dental hygiene today and I got to help a wonderful girl named Eslaine with her essay.  I have made so many wonderful life time memories and some amazing friends.  Tomorrow is our last day and our free day so I am very excited to make some last minute memories.  I can not even describe what has gone on this week in the Bahamas.

Preparing for the trip

On the 14th of January, I volunteered to lead the Children's Ministry team of our trip.  This means I am in charge of planning the "VBS" for the children.  Basically this trip has made me very busy.  I am still so overwhelmed and it still feels so unreal.  I leave in 3 weeks, it's bizarre!!  I have been learning lots of French and so much about the culture in the Bahamas.  There are so many amazing traditions there.  God has truly been challenging me as I prepare for this trip.  Twenty- three days to go until I am in Spanish Wells.  I cannot wait to see what God has in store for me.

We spent our family time at the Discovery Place.  It was interactive and we had a lot of fun.  I personally enjoyed the aquarium the best.  But as you can tell the boys both enjoyed building things.  It has been a very fun and excited morning, but our day still continues on.
