Friday morning, after some time talking to a former patient, Wellington (pictured below), and the chance to purchase crafts made by Damien staff, patients and former patients, the patients threw us a farewell party. We sang "Un Millión de Amigos" with the patients, Ester, Carlos and Blanca spoke, Italo and Mercedes played / sang, and we tearfully tried to express our gratitude. Many of the patients encouraged us to keep studying, to never forget them and to know that they pray for us daily. Many of our group spoke of lives changed, lessons learned in love and wanting to return to Ecuador one day!
We will always pray for our friends at Damien :) we are so grateful and blessed to have gotten to know ...
