Lima airport

So yesterday I finally got some time with the kids. After spending some great one on one time with Wendy, pastors wife, I played some basketball with the kids, one last time and then I let them eat and worked on some letters. Then I went and spent some time with the girls in house 2 for a little while and they began the idea of writing all over my hands and arms, Te amo mucho, etc. And then I went to the Bible study for an hour before returning to the kids house around 8:30. I remained there until 10:40 p.m. and it was soooo good. Just watching the end of their favorite show Al Fondo Hay Sitio, not my favorite show, ha ha. And then we played cards. It was so good to just love on them, hug them, and to take them all in one last time before saying goodbye. Then I stayed up SUPER late working on finishing up packing, writing letters, cleaning, etc. It was a good thing I asked Kevin to wake me up since my phone broke, because I would not have gotten up, lol.
He woke me up and I immediately went to give the last cards to House 1 and said goodbye to them. Then I went to House 2 to say goodbye and they each individually hugged me and some were saying, no, not today. And why? And then Maribel hugged me and handed me a wrapped gift. The last thing I was expecting and I got all teary-eyed. So I was walking back to my room and the kids are hollering at me, saying bye from afar and I get to my room and unwrap the present and as I see what it is, I just begin balling my eyes out. It makes me emotional just thinking about it right now. As I opened it, it was the shirt that the Casa de Paz orphanage workers wear! They had gotten one for me. And in that there was a page full of little notes from most of the kids at the orphanage! My goodness did I lose it or what!
To realize how much you love so many people and how much they return that love, an amazing beautiful thing. It was so hard to leave. So so so so so hard.
And now that I have left, like my dearest Aimeeta once said, If I cannot be in Pacasmayo with the kids, then I just want to be at home.
Kevin, Peggy, and Fred took me to the bus station. It took almost 10 hours to get here and I slept basically 7 hours. I watched some of Batman Returns. And then at the bus station I felt a little overwhelmed. I was like, how in the world am I going to get my bags up these stairs, there is no way. And then a man offered to help and I was like, thank You Jesus! And then a luggage carrier dude helped me get my bags out the door and there was a man standing there with his tags hanging from his neck and he took me to the airport.
I was freaking out a little when I got to the airport, on the inside at least. But there was so much going on and I felt so confused. Then I talked to a lady and she basically made me think that I had to wait out in the lobby to check in until at least 2 a.m. (it being like 10 p.m.) and I was like, there is no way. So then I talked to someone else and she told me I could go up where the food is and all and that is where I am at now. I also called Kevin and at first could not figure out to get his number right. I was getting frustrated because I was like, if I cannot get ahold of the one number I have then that is not cool. But it all worked out.
I ate food and walked around a bit but I am so tired that I came here to the internet thing to keep myself awake. ha ha.
Anyways, thanks for the prayers, please keep on praying!
