We learned that orphans are easier to ignore before you know their names. They are easier to ignore before you see their faces. It is easier to pretend they're not real before you hold them in your arms. But once you do, everything changes. -David Platt

Day 8: Farewell to the MN Crew

Well, today was the day that I knew would be difficult.  The rest of the volunteers left this morning to head back to the States.  Even though I'm far from ready to be going home, it was tough watching my friends load up and head to the airport.  Sammie and I definitely had a few tears in our eyes as we hugged everybody goodbye.  We had an awesome group here last week.  This past week was definitely the easiest week I've ever had down here, because everyone worked together so well.  I'm glad I've got Sammie for at least the next two weeks!
