Day 12: Bittersweet Last Day in Kilmarnock



This was the last day in Kilmarnock everyone had avoided talking about it. Once again we woke up early and played tennis from 8 to 10 and taught from 10 to 12. At 12 we had to say our goodbyes. We all really did not want to leave. It was so sad to drive off after we had grown so close to all of the people in Kilmarnock. We all were crying as we left. We drove up to Inverness that night and spent the night with Paul and Pauline Tuthill.-Josh

Sadly our last day, but the start of our trip to Skye. I was able to play some good tennis with one of the girls at the club and it felt so good to get out and hit again. It was very sad to have to say bye to all of the Scotland guys. They were tears shed all around. Even though we would be able to keep up with facebook, it wouldn’t be the same. With that we journeyed off the to Inverness to meet our friends. That night we were completely knackered and could barely talk with our sweet friends who let us stay with them. -Emma

It was extremely tough to leave the Boys we had invested so much time in for the last 2 weeks. Everyone was crying. I was of course sad, knowing I would go home, and never have an experience like the last 2 weeks had been. But I was also excited (and still am) when I think about how my life will be different. I am a changed person, more a son of God, and a deeper friend to both my amazing team and the Scotland Boys and my host family, the Taits. I can’t wait to see how God will use this tremendous trip in my life.-Trey
