Rio De Janiero

Oye from Rio!

Since the last time that I blogged a lot has happened. On Monday we finished up our time at COL. We met with Ken, Jerrilyn, and Chris and they talked with us about their vision for COl and how they would like to see it grow. They have some amazing ideas on how they would like to change things at COL and how to make it more functional. When we were done we packed up and said our goodbyes. I know for me this was a difficult thing for me to do, because we grew very close to some of the kids there and we want to maintain that relationship. I know that I would love to move down here and work with the kids here....oh for that language barrier!

Monday evening we got all packed up and once again headed for the airport. When all was said and done we arrived in Rio. It was not the most enjoyable flight but thankfully we arrived safe and sound and with all of our luggage.

Today we spent the day touring Rio. It is an amazing city and I recommend everyone to come and experience it. I know that I have been able to see things that are a once in a lifetime opportunity and I feel blessed. It was also fun for the team to do things together in a much more relaxed setting. This experience we will have to fill you in on later!

Please pray for us tomorrow as we head home. We are flying out of Rio at 7pm and traveling to Washington DC. We will then go to Chicago and for the final flight we will land in good old Bismarck at around 2:30pm on Thursday (if all goes according to plan). Please pray for the team as we travel. That we will all get along and that we will find our way in all of the airports! Thank you all for supporting our trip and keeping us in your prayers!
