Sue and I had a VERY long trip!! We left LaGuardia at 4:20Pm on the 6th and arrived in Remanso at 5:45PM on July 7th! Despite it's length, the trip went very smoothly. Each plane was either early or right on time and our bags arrived at every stop along with us. Thanks be to God for that!
Upon arriving in Petrolina, Father Joe and a seminarian picked us up and we made the 2 hour car ride to Remanso. When we turned onto the street where the St. Leo the Great center is located, we saw a beautiful sign welcoming us and thanking us for our visit! It was so special. Even more special than that, the ladies and children of the community made us dinner and visited with us. Dinner was incredible! It was a great way for me to practice my Portugese and learn some of their names. This community is so welcoming and I already love them. Ha!
Sue has just turned in for the night and I am about to do the same. Feel free to comment on what you see and read! We'd love to hear from you.
Miss you and love you,
Jamie
