Day 19 (Saturday 10 July)

On our last day in Toronto we started by packing as much of our luggage as we could, before gathering in Ivy's living room for devotion and sharing. Some of the Toronto youth joined us as well. Around 12 o'clock Leon, Vilhelm and I had to leave to visit our relatives. We went with them to a dimsum restaurant for lunch, and then to a Chinese supermarket for some final shopping before leaving Toronto.

When we came back to Ivy's place we found out that most of the other youth had gone to T&T for some final shopping too. They eventually came back, and pastor Jim also came over because he was going to help drive us to the airport. We gave a gift to Ivy and Glen and told them how grateful we were for having us over again. Then we spent the rest of the evening in Ivy's place talking and socializing and finishing up our packing, before we left for the airport, where we had a tearful goodbye as we went to our flight...

All of us are really missing Toronto, although we were pretty tired and slept most of the time during our travels. Thanks to pastor Ho-Ming and his family and everyone at RHCCC for hosting and teaching us, and for pastor Ivy and Glen for hosting us and keeping us busy for two weeks! Thanks to Grace and Shiina and everyone else for helping drive us around! And thanks to God for letting us all have this awesome experience! Hope to see everyone in Toronto again, either there in Toronto or maybe in Norway (or Sweden)?

We will update the blog with personal reflections on what we've learned and experienced in Toronto. Probably after our summer camp though, since everyone will probably be pretty busy during camp.
