Today was a really emotional day. As you all know it’s our last full day in Nicaragua, and I’m sure you’re all excited to see your loved ones.
We woke up at eight and had breakfast at Imabite per usual, Then we came back to the hostel to discuss our trip and how it impacted us as a group. Afterward we packed and had a little bit of free time to explore the city one more time to say goodbye to the city we called home for the last two weeks. We then prepared for our last English tutoring session.
We then got to enjoy our last free time and went to the high school and hung out with our students on our last day together. There was also a talent show, which was basically a thank you and goodbye from the students to us. All of them were so talented and amazing and it was cool to get to know as much about them as possible before we had to leave. Saying goodbye to them was difficult because they brought us snacks and gifts, and they wanted to take pictures with us which was so sweet. Their dedication to learning English is inspiring, and it’s great to see that they take the classes seriously because we work hard to prepare for them. I’m really going to miss my students.
The hardest part about today was talking about everything that happened on the trip and already reminiscing on all the amazing memories I share with everyone because that was the moment I realized that we are really leaving tomorrow morning. It’s crazy that it’s been two weeks because we’ve done so much it feels more like a month. It’s hard to leave because I feel like I live here. I feel like this is home, and it hurts to leave. Although, I’m excited to be home. We’ll see you on Sunday!
I can only imagine the amazing experience you guys gained in just two weeks, but the love and friendship will last a lifetime and as you guys prepare to come back home, just remember that you left a part of you in Leon with the kids and locals, at the same time you bring a part of them with you, so be proud of what all of you have accomplish in just a bit of time. Eduardo I’m happy to see you in the pics and to see your big smiles, but we really miss you and I’ll be more excited to see you in person. Love Dad, Mom, Elizabeth and Ricky

PS. I’m going to miss writing replies on this blog. It became a habit the past 2 weeks, checking it at night and during the day. ?
Awwwe, hi Kay! Thanks for sharing that… very good. What a long journey you have been on. I know you will be exhausted when you return. Praying that all goes well with the trip home. Traveling mercies. See you very soon!
