I said goodbye to my family this weekend. It was such a bittersweet time for me. The things that my family did for me was amazing. I had a Christmas dinner, slept under the Christmas Tree, and has a very emotional prayer time with them. Through this all, I feel so blessed to have such amazing friends and a amazingly supportive family. I love you all.
Saying goodbye in the airport was hard, but it had to be done. Many tears were shed, but God gave me such a comfort that I knew it was all going to be ok. Even on the plane, I was so comforted by Gods presence.
Our 7 hour layover in Texas went by pretty fast actually. Then the long flight began, 10 hours to Sau Paulo. I slep a bit, watched some movies and read. When we arrived in Brasil it was not hot, infact it was a bit nippy! There are lots of clouds here right now, but everyone is saying that it will NOT stay this way for long. Our misssionary family is amazing. There so kind and welcoming. Were going to see a play on Friday, the son of the family is in it. Im really looking forward to that.
There are a lot of big tall buildings here, then you get the slums... its hearbreaking. I cant believe how some people are living. It hurts.
Anyways, well I will update a bit later. I dont have much time now. Were 6 hours ahead of you, so its about 4:30. The house is great thought, I love it! Were going to the camp tomorrow and checking it out, they have horses!
Thanks SO much for all the prayers, it means so much to have so much support!
Much love

Hi Corryn,
I e-mailed you directly but then checked your blog and it was updated!!! Thanks for not making us wait 3 weeks. That's so cool that you got to keep up your tradition with sleeping under the Christmas tree. What a special time that must have been. I'm sure there were lots of tears but they were well deserved. You have reached such an amazing place in your life and to carry through with God's will is a true testament to who you are right now.
We hope you have fun there, and are glad you are excited about the horses!! That should be fun. Enjoy yourself.
We love you and will be praying for you daily. Big hugs and kisses from everyone here.
Love Auntie Wendy
They have horses??!!?? Can it get any better than that?
So cool that you slept under the C'mas tree again this yr. I know your mum will tell me all about it tomorrow (I had to miss a few days of work, so I haven't seen her for a while... :-S )
You sound happy & excited & just happy to be there. That's so awesome.
Praying for y'all. Hi to Nikita! (& Chelsea & Renee & the guys, too).

HI Corryn,
Just wondering how the play was tonight and if you were able to ride some horses at the camp? I've been looking at the weather for Sau Paulo-sunny and warm-how nice that must be. Sounds like you've been busy already. Glad to know that you are loving the house too and that the missionary family is great.
We are praying for you on a daily basis and thinking about you. Enjoy your weekend. Hope you're over the jet lag. We love you lots!!
Love, Auntie Carol
