Saying good-bye is always hard and no matter how many times you have to do it, it never gets easier. The kids are going to miss their grandparents like crazy. We were blessed to have a year with them...they were gracious to open their house to us.
In spite of our sadness in leaving, we were all so excited to board the plane at DFW (3pm) and begin our journey home to Paraguay. We first flew to Orlando and then we boarded an all night flight to Sao Paulo, Brazil. One this flight we had an individual TV with several movies, TV shows, cartoons and games to chose from. Needless to say, this kept the kids very well entertained. In Sao Paulo we boarded our last flight and at 11:00 we arrived in Paraguay. 9 bags (out of 12) and both car seats arrived and we were greeted by our director and his wife. As we were driving down the pot-hole filled, seemingly disorganized, solicitors at the window, people swerving for overgrown trees and slow ox carts streets of Asuncion I had such an incredible peace. Ryan summed it up great when he chimed in, “It just feels right to be here.”
I praise God that we not only have been called here but that we truly love this country. I also praise God that our children have no problem calling Paraguay home and that they share in our love for the language, culture and people.
Wasting no time catching up with friends.
