Another good-bye

The Last evening with Larry and Karen.

We planned ahead of time that we would make a trip to Argentina for dinner -

a really nice dinner.

Larry and Karen had already gone to this place and wanted to experience it again.

They didn't have to convince us!

Another perk was that it had heat - in the very room we were in!!!

It was everything we had hoped for in food and company....

After the meal we headed to the mall in Iguassu Falls where

we were to meet a few

of the guys from church so that Larry and Karen could say good-bye.

I know they would say they had come to love the people here, as have we.

The time had come for us to say good-bye to Larry and Karen too, so, early the next morning

we took them to the airport.

It was sad to see them go while at the same time knowing that it was time

to be on our own

in order to learn what living in Brazil was all about.

We are so grateful to them and to God

for giving us this "ease" time into the country by having their help.

Thanks you guys.

We really count it as a gift from you and the Lord!

thanks for the meal, too, even though that gift was unintended!

We owe you!

And then, after they left, it really got cold! Did I mention -

it was coooooold!

And this was in the house!

Hard to believe it was in the 100's back in Oregon -

and it was hard to feel sorry for you!

Remind me of that when it's hot here later on!
