Our Final Day in Mexico de Upala

Today was our last day in Mexico de Upala. Today was filled with mixed emotions, satisfaction looking back at what we have accomplished and sadness of leaving new friends and seeing all of the things that still need to be done. We tied up our ends today with all of our missions. The medical team saw about 8 people, we had the opportunity to play with the children one last time, and 4 of the trusses are now in place. We spotted several types of Costa Rican wildlife today. This trip has been a great success. We have seen changes. We have felt changes. We have even caused change we didn't know we were involved in. We have been changed by the people of Mexico de Upala and will forever stay this way.

Tonight ended with a devotion led by Josh. It was a devotion focused on the week past. We all had a chance to reflect on our feelings of the week and how we impacted.

Tomorrow morning we head out on a hike led by the owner of our hotel to see some of God's most beautiful work. After our hike, we are heading out to San Jose where we will rest for the night to catch our early morning flight on Wednesday morning. If all goes according to plan and we don't have any two hour unplanned side trips, our plane will be landing in Charleston around 5:27 P.M Wednesday evening.
