Actually, this picture is from the beach that we visited on our last day in Brazil. Just had to add one more pic from our trip. ((SIGH))
We said goodbye to Juliana, Paulo, Carolina and Audir and boarded the plane in Curitiba. As I walked onto the plane, sadness filled my heart. I was sad to be leaving Brazil, the Lopes' and the friends we made along the way. Once seated on the plane, Jordan started to cry...having many of the same feelings. The river of tears flowed...Jordan, me and finally Lance. Going on a mission trip is different than taking a vacation. We were touched by many people, made good friends and became closer to the friends we already had. In many ways, they feel like family to us and saying goodbye was hard.
So...now we are home and it actually does feel good. Jordan is outside playing, laundry is going and we're settling back into life. I don't think any of the 3 of us will ever be the same from this trip. We have learned a lot about ourselves as individuals and as a family.
If our Brazilian "family" is reading this post, we miss you and thank you for a wonderful experience!!
