On Tuesday the Alta Munyapata team spent the morning with some local kids at the Dinosaur museum. Sucre has discovered over 5,000 dinosaur tracks in the near by mountains and a beautiful museum has been built to showcase them. Following the museum the students returned to the hotel and reunited with the team from Ravelo. It was a great time of sharing stories and laughing at memories.
The Ravelo team arrived back in Sucre around 1:00pm Tuesday, healthy, and full of life. The stories and experiences they have shared are incredible. The kids soaked in the experience and left quite impacted by the church, children, and community of Ravelo.
Both teams spent the afternoon together shopping in Sucre and seeing the local sights. In the evening they celebrated a final dinner together with the FH staff. Filled with laughs, touching stories, and tears the teams said there final good byes and celebrated an incredible week of ministry.
On Wednesday the teams arrived at the Sucre airport and prepared for there journey back to the states. As to be expected the good byes were filled with mixed emotions. Many of the children from Alta Munyapata were at the airport to wish them well and take advantage of a few final hugs. If there was ever any doubt as to the impact the students had upon the children, the final minutes together on Wednesday spoke volumes. The students of Hope Church came with open hearts to love and serve, and the fruit of there labor was celebrated today through the smiles, hugs, and tears of the children.
On behalf of the FH staff, hundreds of impacted children and our family, Thank you Hope Church for sharing your students with us for this past week. You have lots to be proud of and a great deal to look forward to. They will arrive home with great memories and lots of stories. Let them share, laugh and shed tears, and know that God is smiling on them for their sacrificial heart to embrace the people of Bolivian and share the life changing love of God.
