[Farewell]

This is the hardest part of the trip, saying goodbye to the children and team members. Our three weeks of ministry have finally come to an end and the last few hours are filled with hugs, tears, and sweet words of farewells. Got up early to pack and say goodbye to the children as they loaded their bus to go back to Quito. It was a precious time of loving on the children one last time. This week we poured out our hearts and souls into the children as we taught them, and played hard.  I have left a piece of my heart with all the children.  I am so grateful that God allowed me to come and use photography as a tool for ministry.  Their smiles and laughter with stay with me forever and I will never forget them.Elizabeth W.
