This week has been full of goodbyes. Goodbyes to teachers who have become close friends. Goodbyes to friends leaving for the mission field. Goodbyes to neighbors and accuaintances that we have come to know at the park.
Today, our church honored us with a painting. They said they always hoped we would remember them and come visit them. Knowing this culture, I knew that if anyone knew this was our last Sunday, Matt would be asked to say a few words, so we jotted something down so he would be prepared. However, it surprised us when they called all three of us up to the front to present us with a gift. As expected, Matt was asked to say a few words. He pulled a note out of his pocket, then they surprised me by asking me to say a few words. Haley also wanted to say a few words (1 actually) She waved to everyone and said, "Hola!!"
We are blessed to have family wherever we go because wherever there are other Christians, we know we have some friends.
