Last Day in Ruse

Hi all,
Home visits today with amazing stories of life during a time in history that I struggle to even imagine. Tonight we met with the church council and discussed the ways we can best be in mission together. We have some ideas that can be implemented immediately and some thoughts for longer term.

We have started saying our good-byes and that is always the difficult part. The suitcases are getting re-organized and prepared for our return as we leave here in the morning. We'll visit Pleven tomorrow and then spend the night in Sophia at the Methodist Church before we fly home on Wednesday. In case you want to greet us at the airport, we are arriving in Appleton on Wednesday at 5:15 pm on Delta flight 5361 from Cincinnati.

We are excited to return home; but it is bittersweet as we are sad to leave our new friends. We will not say good-bye... we will be saying 'see you later'.

God bless and pray for safe travels -
Patti
