Fairy Tale Ending

It's the night before our last day here in the Philippines and everyone is pretty upset that it is already time to leave this beautiful country and people. I think I can speak for everyone when I say that we have thoroughly enjoyed every second we have got to spend with the new friends that we have met here! Though we all are going in different directions when we get home there won't be a single one of us that will forget the experiences and relationships that happened here. To cap off our time here I don't think we could have had a better time today! We came back from Dagupan this morning and were fortunate enough to get to stop by a waterfall and stand underneath and feel the refreshing water splash on us! Once we arrived back in Baguio City we were given a little bit of free time and then got to visit the wood carvers village where we picked up a bunch of different unique souvenirs and such. Once we had finished shopping most of us got the opportunity to go and visit a children's home where we met some of the cutest kids I have ever seen! These kids latched on pretty quickly and most of us (especially the girls) wanted to smuggle some of them out of the country! Tonight we had our last fellowship meeting with the Filipinos and it was one for the history books! We were able to spend some quality time with our new friends which was great because we also had to say goodbye at the end of the night! Before this however we had a couple highlights that made the night pretty unforgettable! First of all after we had finished the service we all were taking pictures and then formed a dance circle and had a lot of fun showing off our moves to worship music! After this the real excitement came when we ate baloot and got to experience some real Filipino food! All and all the day was amazing and completely fun filled! I'm going to miss all our new friends but at the same time we are all excited to share some more of our experiences and what God used us for with all of you back at home!
