The end of a very interesting journey
Nineteen months after we arrived, almost to the day, we find ourselves exiting the country of Brazil. We have had a wonderful time here in Brazil, even though there have been many challenges along the way. I (Cary) leave Brazil today, possibly forever.. but who knows?As we will no longer be in Sao Paulo as a family, we will not continue to use this blog as our family site. However, as we review our pictures and some of the memories we've made here we may end up posting some more to this site for a while yet. Thank you to all of the many people from around the world who have stopped to look and even comment on what God has been doing in our lives since we left PEI back in July of 2005.
Goodbyes
Nobody likes to say goodbye, but at least it's a great time to show others how much you care about them and how much they care about you. This cake was a gift from a friend of the girls. And while we all look forward to what God has next forus, we will certainly leave some very dear people and a great ministry behind.
Our super-sized city
Just how big is Sao Paulo? Well recently Shannon had the privilege of eating a meal at the top of one of the tallest skyscrapers in the city. She was able to take a few pictures of the view.
And this is only a part of the city that you can see. Twenty million people live here... a staggering number to even begin to comprehend.
Our big girl turns 16
This has been quite a semester at school for Kilah. Not only did she turn 16 this semester, but she was also was honoured by being inducted into the National Honor Society and invited to be listed in "Who's Who Among American High School Students." Needless to say, Mom and Dad are pretty proud of her.
Delivery wagons
We don't stop often, but there are plenty of opportunities to buy fresh produce from farmers who bring their crops to the streets of Sao Paulo and sell them from the back of their trucks. Oh, and in case you're wondering, that sign of an "E" with a slash through it means "No Parking."
