Well, folks, the time has finally come. I will be headed to Brazil on Thursday. After around 30 hours of travel, I'll arrive in Belém on Friday afternoon.
It's such a bittersweet moment. God has been so good, and in the last couple of months of waiting, allowed me to see some of my dearest friends one last time before I leave. I haven't seen several of them for months and even years. My heart overflows every time I realize how the opportunities came about!
I've gotten to experience a glorious fall. The leaves were so vividly colored this year and the temperatures just right! Last week, I even got to see a bit of snow on the ground as I returned from visiting friends on the other side of the state. I would have preferred to witness the magic that is the first snowfall, but I'll take what I was given! My mind is whirling as I try to adjust to the idea of not dealing with bitter cold and ice at all this winter. It just doesn't compute! The thought of 80+ degrees and 70-80% humidity in November doesn't either!
I hope to do at least monthly updates to keep everyone in the know. I am completely open to using Skype and Hangouts for more personal visits though!
Thank you, everyone, for your thoughts and prayers as I begin this crazy adventure on another continent!
