Last day at the mission

Today was our last day at the mission. It has been an amazing trip so far and everyone has had a great time. We are extremely tired and definitely ready for a vacation on Roatan! We leave tomorrow morning and will arrive in Roatan tomorrow afternoon. We are looking forward to scuba diving and relaxing on the beach!

Yesterday morning we also visited the girls school that is run by the mission. It is a high school for the girls from the villages around Guaimaca. These girls come from very poor villages with no opportunity for and education. We treated many of the girls at the clinic and it was nice to see the school.

Tonight we ended by packing up clinic and then playing soccer against some of the children. We drove out to a field and played for about and hour. After going up to a quick 1-0 lead due to great goal by justin and an awesome assist by Ryan. Andrey was our start and Robert and dr Espinoza had some great saves. However, we definitely lost haha.

We will update more when we get to Roatan!
