The last time we took Juan through the back roads to his house, there were many spring babies.
Our hero, Roberto, stopped by to say, "Goodbye". We were all a bit emotional as we knew that we'd most likely never see each other again-- at least in this life.
On our way back to the states, we spent one night in Guayleguaychu, and one night in Buenos Aires attending the temple three more times. We managed to get through immigration's by paying more money and our plane headed for Atlanta.
Never have we viewed our beloved Denver with so much anticipation.
Meesa and the kids met us at baggage and helped us get all our bags to the car. Upon our arrival home, our ward family had made welcome home signs.
The next day, we were welcomed home with an open house at the "castle" where we reunited with many of our dear friends.
Today (about 10 days later), we gave our report at church.
Amy summarized with the following:
We must have opposition to provide resistance for growth. There
is no other way. So I challenge you to not be afraid of doing hard things.
Don’t get weary of doing good. Trust the Lord in all your doings. Take counsel
from Him in great humility. He will teach you. He will support you. He loves
you. He loves me and can use us for good if we let him. I am so grateful for
this terribly hard mission because in our difficulties we found the love of
God.
Gregg summarized with the following:
If we are humble and teachable, the Holy Ghost will prompt us to improve and lead us home, but we need to ask the Lord for directions along the way.
