Today was our last day in Guayaquil, so it was full of lots of goodbyes.
One group went to the pediatric hospital, where they had the chance to give out blankets to some of the patients. They all said it was such a sweet experience.

Another group was in the community, doing more of school-age kid assessments.
The last group had a busy day saying goodbye and thank you to all the wonderful staff at Louis Vernaza who have been so welcoming and good to us.
In the afternoon, the heads of the Junta took us out to lunch at a very nice restaurant as a thank you. The food was delicious and the company was wonderful! They were so gracious and kind.

At night, we went to a Mother's Day celebration for our ward. It was so much fun! They first had a program of songs, etc. from the kids and youth, which was really cute. Then it was time to get down on the dance floor!! I'm pretty sure they had fun just watching the crazy white girls (and guys) go crazy. But we loved learning some fun latin dance moves and making new friends!
We danced the night away!

Our two weeks in Guayaquil were so fun and memorable. It was sad to say goodbye to that beautiful city and its people, but we are excited for our new adventures up ahead!
