In such a beautiful place as Costa Rica, you would not think that going home would even cross your mind. Come to think of it, even the adults are aching to get back to their loved ones. But Mr. Fox told us something interesting last night; he said that while we are here in this breathtaking land, we should enjoy every minute of it instead of wanting home where we always are. That impacted me a little bit; I know that two years ago the feeling was the same, that i wanted my family to hold me again even if I was gone for two weeks. But being able to bond with friends that I have not gotten the time to get to know is a pretty awesome experience. School does not allow us to communicate deeply 24/7 like a mission trip does. That is why I came, and that is why I have the will power to stick it out till the end and finish with a warm hug from my loving father.
