Well, one week ago our dear friends left for Quito, Ecuador as missionaries for a boy's home.
The leaving was gut-wrenching hard.
Our hopes and prayers for them are so genuine. As much as we will miss them living a minute away, we truly can't wait to see the impact God makes through them.
Josh went to school the morning after saying bye and had the biggest, puffy eyes because he cried himself to sleep saying "Why? Why can't they tell people in Tyler about God???"
He is our dramatic one!
Caleb got sad and quiet. Then, he started drawings and notes for his buddy
which made him feel much better.
The one that gets my heart the most is Kate.
She cannot figure out where her buddy went ... everytime we drive by their house she calls her friend's name. We went into their empty house and she ran through it calling her name looking for her. I said calmly for the 100th time
"Remember, she moved to Ecuador."
I guess Kate got it a little bit more because she stamped her foot and said,"NO ECUDOOR!!!" and then she started crying and would not leave my side until we left.
Then, we set up Skype.
Oh, how awesome is that. We chatted and saw them on the computer and the kids all pushed their way into the camera laughing - felt good!
So, if you have a moment, stop and pray for our friends and you might just pray for those who stayed behind, too!!! :)
We love you, Bryans family!!!
