What in the world is a despedida?
Madison, you should know better than to use Spanish words. Come on now, use English please. You are back in the USA.
Despedida is a going away party, a goodbye party, a farewell party. I think you've got the idea. Pretty much any sort of get together can suffice as a despedida, and I had 5.

| Despedida #3 at the school |
- Bible study group: Cake and prayers at the ladies' Bible study I joined and attended.
- Children's Home: Cake and sodas, hugs and pictures, and a giant card made from all my kiddos.
- School: Cake and sodas, dancing and a homemade card (in English) from one of my high school classes. This one was a surprise that they planned all on their own.
- Youth Group: Snacks, cookies, and sodas. Games and prayers. Oh and dancing.
- Church: 4 CAKES, sodas, prayers.

| Despedida #4 |
On Tuesday, Padre Ricardo told me he would give me a ride to the airport and would be by to pick me up. When I heard the honk and looked out the window I expected to see his little car. Instead he was driving the big van and all of the kids from Casa Hogar were with him to take me to catch my flight. Once at the airport 5 of the youth leaders showed up along with my Peruvian Mom - Naty. 30+ Peruvians all saying goodbye to the Gringa. See picture below...
