Last Day at School

Today was our last day at Jefferson. There were so many emotions flowing as we said goodbye to our new friends and the school community that welcomed us for the last three weeks. We had two shows today and they both went wonderfully! Our kids had so much fun teaching the Ecuadorian students about the United States and Cincinnati, and the Ecuadorian students had a blast joining in our dances. They LOVED the chicken dance!!! Our hosts gave us some gifts and we had a tearful goodbye. At noon, we went to Miss Gabriel's and Mrs. Laudeman's host family's house for a cookout. We had so much fun and so much food!!!!!We are going on holiday Thursday and Friday and will have fun with our host families before we leave. Saturday we have to be at the airport at 3:00 a.m. and a 9 hour layover in Miami. Please pray for our safe travels. We cant wait to see everyone!!!!
