New adventures

Good morning! A quick note before we head to the bus station. Alex and I just sat at the breakfast table here at the Guest House wondering how the morning went at Manuelito....whether anyone had a fit about getting dressed, whether everyone remembered to pray before they ate breakfast, who walked the kids to school....we know that they got along well before we arrived, and they will all be fine now that we are gone, but it feels funny not being there with all of our friends and kids. We are emotionally pooped out right now. More difficult good byes (difficult for us, not for Jeremy!!) today as we leave Teguc, but fun hellos as we join our friends Kent and Judy in San Pedro Sula for a couple of days, and then to Roatan to decompress, relax and visit with my sister Barb who will be vacationing there for the week as well.
We are thinking about all of our Center Grove pals as you all head into Spring Break--safe travels for everyone, and a wonderful, relaxing, rejuvenating time, we hope. A week from today we will be back in Greenwood. Nate is talking about the things he will eat when he gets home, Chase is anxious to take the new class mascot that he bought to school, Charles is thinking about what the stock market might have done while we have been gone.......Alex and I are thinking about when we can get back to Manuelito. The boys have had a wonderful experience as well, but Alex and I are not thinking ahead right now---we are pretty blue and still spending our day dreams in Talanga. One thing is for sure--we have been changed as individuals and as a family by this time together. God works in strange and wonderful ways sometimes!!
Thank you for your prayers for all of us. During our last week please pray for our safety and that we have a smooth readjustment to life, work and school back in suburbia. See you soon!! EWM

Hey Guys.
So glad to hear how wonderful the experience has been for all involved. We will pray for safe travels. We will plan on having tortillas and rice for you when you return - how does that sound!! Seriously, Katie is constantly asking about having a welcome home party for the Millers. We would love to do that. We can't wait to catch up.
Love,
Jen and Andy
