Headed Home

---

Wednesday night ended with a skit night. If imitation is the greatest form of flattery, the messages were really appreciated. It was fun to laugh together. We were up well past midnight talking and saying final good - byes. It's amazing how close you can get to someone in just a few days. Thursday we headed back to Porte Alegre. For one last treat, we went for Brazilian pizza and then back to the hotel.

Friday we started our journey home. We left Porte Alegre at 12:30 p.m. for Sao Paulo. Since we had an 8 hour layover, Joe Arthur met us at the airport and we were able to go into the city and see the seminary. The traffic was heavy so we had to head back to the airport, leaving at 10:15 p.m. We arrived in Chicago at 4:14 a.m (local time) and found out our flight was canceled to Cedar Rapids. We were able to catch a plane to Moline and Jeff and Sheri' son in law met us and drove us to Cedar Rapids where we picked up our car and headed to Wateloo, arriving around 12:30 p.m.

What a wonderful opportunity we had to minister to those on the front line in Brazil. They've asked Rich to consider coming back to teach a Bible Institute Class some time in the future. We'll pray the Lord will lead in this decision.
