Well here is our last report from the airport in El Slavador as we await our departure.  After an evening of last reflections and sharing what we learned we all tried to pack and get plenty of sleep for the journey home.

After our morning prayer and breakfast we departed the CFCA center for one last community visit on the way to the airport.  At the community of St. Tomas we were warmly welcomed by the pastor and community leaders and catechists who spoke to us of their community and their partnership with CFCA.  Some young people from the group performed their songs for us.

After this meeting we set out for the airport and the long process of clearing customs and getting set for our flight.

We have had a wonderful week and are all ready to return home.
