It's over. Yup, I've said my goodbyes and I'm back in Vancouver - never realized this place is so lush and green and colorful! Nothing like the dusty, stony, piney landscape I left this morning.
I'm happy to see my family and excited for Kathryn's wedding tomorrow but I was not ready to leave the school at Stone. I cried as AmyLou and I left the school this morning. It had been another one of those busy school mornings, complete with a mother's day tea in which the whole school took part in. During assembly, we were given cards and pens decorated with tiny beads, made by one of the Chilcotin staff. We had written cards for our students and taken numerous pictures of the beautiful children and staff. The sun was shining and warm, students were back in their classrooms where they belonged, and we were leaving... As we pulled out of the school parking lot and made our way down the dirt road through the reserve, AmyLou suggested we pray once more for these students that have so impacted our lives and touched our hearts. It was a beautiful way to end an amazing experience. I'm missing everyone already!
P.S. Sorry, had to take the pics of the children off my blog 'cause I found out that I'm not supposed to do that without parental permission. Just trust me when I say they are beautiful children!
