Long Way Home




Today was our last day in clinic. We have a free day Friday and then start our journey home Saturday. It is somewhat bittersweet to have to pack up the clinic. In one way we are all excited to be home and see our friends and family. In another way, we are sad we are unable to continue to see the new friends on the team and the wonderful people we have met here.

It was a great day as far as clinic goes. We were supposed to wrap up around 2 and ended up going until almost 4. The we had a chance to thank the local students, Lions and the army for their generosity and hard work. Everyone that helpedus had a chance to pick out a pair of sunglasses and to pick a donated item from the our homes. It was a great time and I wish we could do more.

I really don´t have any amazing stories right now and I am having issues with posting images. I will try to get more on the blog as soon as possible, but I am not sure what I will be able to do. Access has been limited, so I am sorry for that. I will add more photos when I get home if I can´t do it before.

We have a dinner with the Lions Club this evening that should be pretty great. Then many of us are going to see the local water spouts that are about 2 hours south of here. They are said to be amazing and so far no one has misled us about these things.

I know that many of the volunteers are reading this blog and I want to take a moment to thank them for all of their hard work and huge hearts. You have made us all feel so welcome and been so gracious. We all appreciate the hours and effort you have given to this clinic and the love you have shown to us.

To our family and friends back home... We miss you and can´t wait to see you. To the our family a LUX... thanks for making this possible. Your care and support have made it possible for us to be here while you have been back home. We can´t wait to see you all and share the stories of this amazing experience.

Thanks for reading.

Tim- I could not wait to open the blog each morning to read about the amazing work the team is doing. I myself have been a travel agent for over 30 years and know how very difficult it is to leave behind new found friends! Again- job well done and safe journey home to all.
