A PIE FOR THE GOODBYE













Leaving Monterrey was already going to be difficult enough so Rodo and I decided to tell our staff team we didn't want any kind of goodbye party filled with tears and sadness. So, our creative team came up with the idea that they would do a Carnival Send Off full of games and fun for the evening. It was honestly the most perfect way to spend the night. Our teens, staff families, and friends all came. Everyone wore western wear (in honor of me being from oklahoma:) You could buy Becca bucks that went towards all the games and the yummy food that was there.
We had funnel cakes, cake pops, nachos, pastries, and TONS more.
The games ranged from bobbing for apples, dart shooting at balloons that had fun prizes inside of them, target practice, cornhole, all the way to getting temporary tattoos from one of our jovens!

The night was filled with tons of laughter and fun.

Then they had a little surprise for us. I know what you are thinking, like a gift right? Well, not this time. The campus gave us "A PIE FOR THE GOODBYE". Each person had a turn shoving pie in our face. It was hilarious!
Thank you staff for loving us the way you have for the past 4 years, and even way before that! It is going to be super different now but each one of you has helped shape us into who we are today! All the accountability, friendships, salsa dancing parties, community nights, date nights, super salad nights, and etc.... we are going to miss it all!
Thank you for believing in us, loving us, and putting on such an incredible send off party. WE LOVE YOU MONTERREY STAFF FAMILY!
