Burke Lipscomb- 7/17/16
Oh there were tears today, some of my own included. For me leaving Cristo today was just a moment I will never forget. Along with the sadness of leaving, I had a huge appreciation for all of the relationships built this week. It was especially sad for me to see these little 8-11 year old boys crying and hugging onto my legs saying "Te vas a salir?" which is more or less "are you leaving?"
It hurts to watch them go the opposite way down the street. I know though they are surrounded by a loving community through Cristo.
It didn't really hit me that this mission is almost over until we were told, on the bus ride back from Cristo, that we were to start backing when we arrive at the hostel. This is an amazing group and great things have been done at that Church and even greater were the relationships forged there.
