Good morning.
It’s rainy and a bit cooler today in Rio. I had made plans to go hiking today, but apparently that particular mountain peak will have to wait until I get back… Just one more thing to look forward to returning to here in Brazil.
I spent most of yesterday doing laundry and organizing my things. My suitcase is even down and partially packed (my mother would be shocked), but, of course, I plan to do the majority of my packing tomorrow morning before taking the bus to the airport. I will be going with my friend from work, Nicole, who is also flying home tomorrow.
I think that the school year ended well. I really enjoyed my students, and I’m looking forward to having a full year with them next year. And, I enjoyed the faculty and staff as well–it was such a nice change to be back at a Christian institution where the staff met together daily to pray for the students and one another.
So here is a brief overview of my summer schedule:
June 17, Depart Rio
June 18, Arrive in Texas–visit with Mom & Dad & family there
June 23, Arrive in Mississippi–NICS Pre-Field Orientation Training
July 4, Travel to Minnesota–visit with Erik & Ruth & the kids
July 9, Travel to Virginia–visit with Betsy & Hope (Hope’s birthday!)
July 15, Travel to New Mexico–visit with Church & friends
July 20, Return to Texas
July 23, Fly back to Rio (arrive 24th)
I really did want to be able to include a Chicago stop but was just not able to fit it in this time–time and money constraits… If you remember, please pray for safe travels for me throughout the upcoming weeks.
I will continue posting updates throughout the summer.
With love and prayers, Amy
Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them in everyone. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. 1 Corinthians 12: 4 – 6
