It's our last night in Rio do Sul

Well, our blog didn't go exactly as I had hoped. Timely posting has proven to be difficult. Parents, your students' phones are filled with pictures and memories. Yesterday's English Camps were a success. Today was filled with a gathering at the park, a traditional churrasco, church services, then a big old pizza party.
Tomorrow morning we begin the trek home.
I'm going to try to give some gentle advice: Don't be overly impatient for them to be able to verbally process the trip with you. Right now our emotions are tangled with exhaustion, mixed with the grief of leaving friends, and we're throwing in some sinus issues for good measure.😉
On the flip side, don't move past the trip too quickly. As they show you photos, some wonderful stories are sure to spill out.
I have had a total blast! Your kiddos have blessed me beyond what I deserve. Time and time again our friends at Celivres Church have told me how shocked, amazed, and humbled they are that our students have such depth of faith and ability to express it. Make sure you ask your child how God used his/her own giftedness for His glory in the past two weeks.
We will have some time tomorrow and early Tuesday to relax, reflect (and maybe shop). Then we would ask for your prayers for smooth travel connections.
Looking forward to our Eppley Airfield reunion!
Julie
