Yes, this is how we feel about getting back on that plane at bedtime tonight and trying to sleep in an area barely big enough to sit in! Actually this is a photo that 4-year-old Jonah Roberts took of Mr. Patrick with our camera saying, "look angry!". We will sorely miss that sweet boy along with the rest of our new family here in Niteroi.
We can't believe that the 2 weeks has gone so quickly and although we are ready to get home to loved ones and familiar comforts, the leaving is always difficult. At our end meeting last night we prayed for our readers by name, deliberately turning them over to their God and to His people here in Niteroi.
This morning we will worship with them one more time then spend the afternoon packing and organinzing what we are leaving behind for the team who arrives next week. We might get a moment to visit the yogurt or gelato shop one more time and get down to the water for one last view of God's glory displayed there. Then it's off to the airport for our 10 pm flight.
Please pray that we say our goodbyes well here, for our safety on the way home, for our luggage, and for our reentry into our lives in Tulsa. We have been changed.
