At the Farewell Service, Juvenal opened with prayer and then Melissa, Barco, and Samuel all had an opportunity to speak to the group (with Rosmery translating). Rosmery also thanked everyone for their hospitality and especially the ladies who prepared our wonderful meals. DRACMA performed, several sang, and then Juvenal had us all come to the front to lay hands on a young lady who came forward to give her life to Christ. After this, Juvenal had the mission team stay at the front. The band played How Great Thou Art and we sang - some in Spanish and some in English, it really didn't matter as we all felt God's presence. Lots of tears were shed and Juvenal layed his hands on each of us and prayed with such intensity as only Juvenal could do! When we finished, more tears as we hugged and kissed our brothers and sisters in Christ one more time. Lots of photos. It took a LONG time to make our way to the doorway and into the bus. We returned to the hotel and had dinner at the hotel restaurant with Juvenal and Nohely joining us. They also joined us for devotions right after dinner with Melissa leading. We all shared what changes we felt as a result of the past week's experiences.............
