Well, it is about time that I wrote something again. :) As many of you already know, the last few days/weeks have been very busy for my family and I. Two weeks ago, we started packing up our house in Brazil. Amazingly, in that one week, I sorted though and gave away or packed all of my personal belongings! It is kind of strange to know that everything that I own is now in two suitcases!
Last Tuesday, my family and I boarded the plane headed for Miami. After a day of flying and being in airports, we finally arrived in Miami, only to wait more than an hour for the shuttle to take us to our hotel for the night! Even though the wait tested our patience, once we finally did arrive at our hotel room, we were able to order Papa John's pizza--fabulous pizza, by the way!!! We spent the night in Miami, and left for Kansas City the next morning. We did almost miss our flight, but...God was good, and we were still able to get on, even though the door had already been closed! We arrived in Kansas City right around noon, and it was great to be with my aunt and uncle, and cousins once again!
Since then, we have gone camping, eaten Mexican food, and gone shopping at Wal-mart and Target! Yay! Although all of the these things are fun and we miss being able to do them when in Brazil, I miss all of the people I left behind in Brazil. I still can't believe that I am actually in the U.S., thousands of miles away from everyone in Brazil. But I guess the cold weather is trying to make to wake up to reality and realize that this really is the U.S.! :)
Tomorrow we are heading out to Nashville for a conference. Pray for me, as I will be helping with sessions for 12-15 year-old girls by leading a small group. This is the first time that I am doing anything like this, so I really appreciate your prayers! I'll try to get some pictures throughout the week and post a few.
In Christ alone,
Angie
