Today was a very hard day. We sat with Mercy and had to explain to her why we cannot bring her back to America at this time. So, we pretty much just all sat and cried together. Then, we gave out the rest of the candy, balloons, bracelets, letters, and whatever else we had to give out. Saying goodbye is always the hardest part, but it is comforting knowing that it is not for forever. I had to keep telling all of the orphans that I promise to come back as soon as I get a chance. It was a very sad day, but now I'm ready to come home. We leave for Nairobi tomorrow morning. Thank you so much for all of your prayers! They are greatly appreciated.
