Hospice continued Day 3

Today was our last day at the Hospice, which to clarify... Bob thought it was a Monestary but actually the Friar corrected him and told him it was a Hospice. A Hospice is a place for people to gather and a Monestary is for the Monks or Friars to gather. We had class for an hour and packed our gear up. Class was amazing as usual we discussed our core values and roles and personal mission statements. Angela who is one of the consultants for the Huntsman School of Business helped us prepare! She is awesome and her and I have become fast friends we have very enjoyable conversations about life:) After we had tea time at 10:30 and then wrapped up and had free time to play ping pong!! Then lunch time came we ate our last meal and we helped the Friars clean again. This time the museum they were so grateful for our hard work and our quickness... 112 hands makes the work go faster. After we all got ready and bundled up to trek down the hill, we met everyone in the hall way to say goodbye. Dominique who is the owner of the hotel and one of our guides, spoke first and thanked us for all we had done and worked for at the Hospice he choked up and then we all sang God Be With You Til We Meet Again. It made me tear up just being there with the friar and being able to serve and realizing no matter our nationality our faith or our circumstance we are all God's children and even though I was sad and knew I would never see these people again. I knew we would meet again at Jesus feet. Then Friar Josee sand a pslam with us. We kissed Margarite and Friar goodbye and began our walk down. It was beautiful all the snow had melted. Then it was more trains and buses and dinner time then we were exhausted so sleep followed that.
