Days 12: Back to Goldtree!

Hey everyone! Sorry for not updating you, but we had some very busy last days. 


On day 12, we went back to a school in Aguilares where we had been in earlier that week. All the kids were so happy to see us again! Some of us did our talks and then played some games with our classes. My class ended up having an intense soccer game, which we decided to stay out of. Salvadorians are violent when it comes to soccer! We stayed at the school for a few hours, and left later on. It was sad to leave the school because its become pretty special to us. We've been there for the past 2 years, so we've some little friends there. 
We quickly drove to get some lunch and then go back to our favourite school of all time, Goldtree! Goldtree is a school we were in last year for almost a full week. The whole team from last year made friends with the students there, so it was exciting to go back there and see our little friends. Our time there was a little different. We just sat with the students, playing games, talking to them, giving them salvation bracelets, just hanging out with them. Not all of them were there because there were parent/teacher meetings for progress reports. 

After we left the school, we drove up to "La Puerta del Diablo" which is a whole bunch of mountains. We climbed up and the view was absolutely beautiful. We stayed up there, took some pictures and just took in the amazing view. After that, we went to go get some dinner. The area we were at is known for its great view and delicious pupusas, so we had to get that for dinner! 

It was a great day, and definitely an awesome way to start wrapping up our 2 weeks.
