Today all students that attended Pachacuti met for mass in San Jose. We met a SM group of tired, but happy students. They said that they had had a great experience with a lot of hard work but also many new friendships. Sarah said that she wouldn't think twice about doing something like this again. She loved it! I am so proud of the Santa Margarita students - I never hear them complain. They are known here for their hard work and great attitude! After mass the students were celebrating with their groups - a lot of dancing, screaming and waving the individual schools' banners.
The priest encouraged the students to remember what they had experienced, both the good and the hard: the work that they accomplished, the daily devotions, the friendships that they made, the cold that they suffered and the camp-like food that they were eating for a week. He was hoping that this experience made them grow as humans as well as spiritually.
After a good night's sleep we are meeting tomorrow afternoon for our departure to Buenos Aires! I think that everyone is ready to feel like a tourist for a while!
