Our final day at Stenton Family Manor held mixed emotions. While we were all ready to journey home to see our families and get some rest, it was very difficult to say goodbye. We knew that we probably would never see these particular children again. They, too were aware that we would be leaving. We all made the most of the time with lots of hugs and piggy back rides. I think the favorite activity however was the relay races and water balloon toss!
Before we left, we had the opportunity to talk with the staff to ask what particular items were most needed for each age group and we left behind not only all of the equipment we brought, but lots of ideas for activities for the summer.
Our trip home was smooth, with lots of chatter, laughter and sleeping! Several of the missioners talked about their experiences and how much perspectives were changed. It was a wonderful week for all of us and many are already looking forward to next year!
Thank you again for all of your prayers and contributions. Everything we brought was in full use when we left Stenton Manor and now we know what things to bring for our next mission!!
