Yesterday was a shopping day,  not for us but for a couple of the children.  Then after that we went with Telmo and Valdir up to Igrejinha to pick up some donated items.  It was a nice trip out to the country.

Afterwards we had dinner at Telmo and Christina's house.  A for them to cast the vision of the future of Lar Coméia and their place in the ministry and ours as well.  Then home for a restless night's sleep.


Now it is time to fold our clothes, pack our bags and start our journey homeward.

It has been a great 3 weeks and we come away with the feeling of accomplishment.

Yes we have done a lot of work, but we have also built or strengthened relationships with the parents and children here.  We come away with a renewed love for this ministry and a new sense of their day to day struggles.  We also see God's hand in all of the operation of the ministry that we call Chain of Love.

But it is time to pack up to computer and get ready for the trip to the airport.

Tchau.

Ross, Rick and Jean
