On Sunday, we woke up early and prepared to leave Camp Hankavan. Everyone was devastated to leave the children that had stolen our hearts, and we were bombarded with hugs while getting into the bus.
On the bus ride to the church in Vanadzor, I prepared to share my testimony before the congregation. I was both nervous and excited to tell my story – this being the first time I had ever shared it with a large group. The church members welcomed us with open arms. Sharing how God has worked in my life before the congregation was such an invigorating experience, and now I want to do it more. I was also so encouraged by James’s testimony and willingness to share. The older ladies who greeted me after were so sweet, and one was even excited to show me that we have almost the same last name. I loved being able to get to know the other youth, and I was sad to leave such a loving church.
We were served a delicious lunch, and then arrived at our hotel. The staff was so kind, and our rooms were wonderful! We dropped off our luggage and headed back out to visit our separate mission groups. My group visited the Vanadzor Shogh center, and the friendly volunteers gave us a tour of their vicinity. The children they worked with were so cute, and I loved getting to know all their names.
That evening we joined the youth of the church. Together we sang, worshipped, and played fun games. The fellowship filled me with joy. I had an opportunity to rest in my hotel room after, and I was able to go to bed early and get some good rest. Thankful to the Lord for another day in Armenia!
