We'll Be Back

The ice bar was SO fun though... imagine a bar inside an igloo with random ice sculptures and that is Ice Bar Madrid. So. Fun. Today we went to Segovia, not tons of sights to see, but it was nice to all be together as a group on our last day. We have been in good company. Then tonight we of course went out for our last round of churros as Valor. They will be truly, truly missed. 

So, last night at dinner we were talking about how sad it was going to be leaving Manuela, and we asked her how she did it always having so many students coming and going. She says she just never says goodbye. She's been doing this a while and has had so many students that have come back to Madrid and called her to catch up. We plan on doing that. She and Antonio have truly been the biggest blessing on this trip. They go above and beyond for us. It's encouraging look back a month and a half ago to when Fran and I got an email saying we had a change in host family; I can't help but think of how sovereign and good the Lord is for putting us with this generous and loving pair. They are unforgettable and have taught us so much. 

We've just finished packing. We are sweating- high of 97 tomorrow so you can imagine how hot it is right now in our shoebox with no AC...  We are hoping that our suitcases don't hit above 50lbs and that customs isn't tragically long and drawn out, so y'all be praying for us for easy and safe travels! Fran and I really want to thank all of you who have had us in your prayers while we have been gone. This trip has been without any hiccups and mishaps, so thank you all for your faithfulness and consideration. God is so good. 

Thank you sweet parents, who we can't wait to see, for sending us on an adventure and an experience that we have learned so much from. Y'all are incredible people, and we can't wait to see all of you so soon. 

Love,

F & C
