Day 37:

Bittersweet is the only way to describe day 37. We made it a fun day filled with positives but one giant dark cloud loomed over us today. It's Tenesha's last day with us in Lisbon. Tomorrow morning we take her to the airport so she can go home to France. As sad as it is- I am extremely happy that we got to spend this time with her, getting to know her and sharing such a wonderful experience that will never be forgotten.

After a morning run and breakfast together at the apartment, all of us Campolide girls set off for the Museum of Natural Science. It was such an awe-inspiring place filled with the many wonders of Jehovah's creation. From botanical gardens, to the creatures in the ocean, dinosaurs, the many galaxies, minerals, and so much more; the information contained in this one building had us feeling so small and so inspired by our grand creator. The whole time we were in the museum we had fun. I don't think there was a moment that went by without smiles on our faces and joy in our hearts.

In the evening, we had decided to invite Tia over to join us for a crepe party. Crêpes are Tenesha's specialty, very French of her. She taught me her secret recipe and all of us girls flipped and ate crêpes like nobody's business, declaring this day as Crepemas. As day 37 comes to an end, we say goodnight with slightly heavy hearts, not wanting day 38 to take Tenesha to France...

Today's Positives:

We were reminded of what a wonderful privilege we have to be serving the one and only creator of the universe and felt the true meaning of the exaltation found at Revelation 4:11

It was a wonderful last day in Lisbon with Tenesha

It was also a wonderful "we will see you again" day with Tenesha

Crêpes- need I say more
