Today was our last full day in Brazil. We ate breakfast together as a team and had about 2 hours to finish any last minute shopping that we wanted to do. We then spent several hours at the orphanage playing with the children, having lunch with ALL of the children, and then we had a party for them. Michael dressed up as a clown and the children seemed to enjoy it. It definitely brought smiles to their face especially when they figured out that the clown was Michael!
Shortly after the party, we packed up and said our good-byes. This is always the hardest part because we become so attached to these children and the children become attached to us. I could tell you multiple stories about how these children have touched my heart and life as well as my teammates.
Thank you for the prayers for our team. We are all in good health and will begin our travels tomorrow. Please pray for safety for all of us as we begin our journey home. We will post more pictures when we return home.
In Christ,
Marcilla
