Our day began with a wake up call at 7:00am. We had a lovely pancake breakfast waiting for us at the comedor. The pancakes were delicious and they reminded everyone of home. After breakfast, we wrote letters of appreciation to the people who supported and donated to the Global Glimpse Foundation. Everybody wrote their letters from their amazing experiences that they had here in Nicaragua. After writing the letters, we had another lovely meal at our wonderful comedor. Then, we had a closing trip reflection seminar. We shared our big love to each and every person in the group. To end the glorious day, we walked down to a restaurant and had our last meal. Then we danced the night away under a colorful disco ball. Everyone had so much fun and we will all miss each other. This trip has been truly amazing and we can’t thank our family, friends, and leaders enough. Thank you for your support!
