Can't say this is a day we have been looking forward to. We are ready to get home to Honduras but we have made A LOT of good friends here and it is difficult to leave them. Today we had to say goodbye to our maestros (teachers). They are not only our teachers but they have also become our good friends. During class today we took our teachers for ice cream. Then Cindy took here teacher to exchange a book Cindy had bought for her but she already had. Brad and his teacher just went for a walk around the town and talked. After class we had to say goodbye to everyone at the school that we have gotten to know over the past 12 weeks.
Then we headed to our house for lunch. On the way we stopped at the the YWAM coffee shop to say goodbye to Bill and Pat (the couple that run the place). We have spend a lot of time in there over the past 12 weeks studying and talking.
When we got back to the house we had lunch with Allyson (a new student at the house that arrived about 10 days ago), Miguel (the student from Germany that has been at the house almost as long as we have), Lesbia (our house mom), and the three girls who are on vacation from school this week - Majo, Andrea, and Marcela. We started eating about 1:25 and our ride to airport showed up at 1:45. It wasn't much time to spend with people you have grown very close to over the past three months. It seemed very rushed and very sad to be leaving them.
The driver taking us to the airport was Eddie. Except for our initial arrival, Eddie has been our driver every time we've come or gone to the airport. He also works at the school so we see him regularly. He has gotten to know us so well that when we returned to Guatemala in May he didn't even bring a sign with our names on it to hold up at the airport. So, it was nice to spend some time with Eddie on the 45 minute ride to the airport.
