Day 50: Today's events

While the team went to the beach, I stayed behind to hang out with one of my local friends. She and I went to eat at a place called Oli's Place, which was not as well quality (service, food, and atmosphere) as we were expecting, but the cheeseburger I got hit the spot.

We both hung out, chilled, spent quality time together since she will be staying here with her husband and are unsure as of when we will be able to hang out again. We went to a national supermarket that carries many different food types from different places around the world. For example, this supermarket carried what her and I thought was a German type of sauerkraut with German writing on the label and everything beside an American brand of a similar product.

Asian was what was on the menu for dinner with fried rice and noodles, which was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. We had to hurry over there though since the restaurant was about to close, but she called ahead and got the food ready so all we had to do was pay.

I sat in on the last debrief with the team as Brian expressed what was the team's next step: re-entry. We talked about how coming to a place like this, doing all the work that we did, all the emotions we felt while down here, is going to chance our opinion and perspective on life. The only issue is that we want to try and express our feelings onto others and expect them to understand fully what it is that needs to be changed in life and what things we can do to help others.

I am happy to have met Quest Church and it will be a bittersweet moment to see this team leave tomorrow. I hope to meet up with them later this year when I make a trip up to Cincinnati to see everyone I have met over this summer from the Cincinnati area.

Two more days everyone!
