Anyhow, today was my last day here in Brooklyn, New York. Instead of going on an apostolate in the neighborhood today, I stayed in the home to write my first letter to my sponsors. The letter is four pages long. All of my sponsors should receive it soon.
My French missionary friends made a special dinner for me today. Hamburgers and french fries! Now that's what I'm talking about! I often spoke about my anxiety of having to live without American food and candy while in Brazil. They took pity on me and decided to provide me with a good last supper. Two of my friends, Ben and Mathilde, will have already returned to France by the time I get back. Thus, I had to say goodbye to them tonight. I got to talk to most them one last time before they had to go to bed. I'm still up even though it's 3 am. There's not much point in going to bed at this point. So I'll just write on my blog for a while and finish packing (no I'm not done).

Hope you made it there safely! Bon chance, mon ami!
Hi Michael, I hope you made it back ok! I have recently moved from the UK to Brazil and do miss some of the english creature comforts i grew up with like tea, croquet and of course my friends. So i get where you are coming from to miss out on some local treats!
However for us personally, the property in Cabedelo my husband bought is going to give us the opportunity to live out the dream we have had for a long time whilst working in the UK. We cant wait to get over there now!
