Farewells after an amazing 8 months....

Sorry its taken us so long to get our final update on!! We spent our final week in Tacna (based in the Brew household) in a 'Pepe' nursery school teaching English. This was a challenge to say the least, we were going well when we managed to get the 25 4/5 year olds sitting on their chairs! However, by the end they had learnt colours, numbers, fruits and animals along with listening to a number of bible stories and songs.
In the evenings we held 2 sessions of English classes (both primary and secondary level) in the Brews home. It was great, all the students were so enthusiastic about learning and were even able to present themselves by the end of the week. We had the opportunity to share some bible stories during the lessons too, with the older group doing a question and answer session!
The final week was spent saying lots of farewells to many of the people we met over the previous 8 months. We had a special farewell service in the church in Ite, where a number of the team shared about their experiences on Mision Rescate. It was really encouraging to hear how God has been working in each persons life and all the things that each person has learnt.
Later in the week we travelled to Arequipa for some 'team time'. We were able to meet up and say goodbye to some of the people from the church in Arequipa (where we spent our first 3 months). Finally on 5th June we bid farewell to our fellow team members and a number of people from Moquegua (who came especially to 'see us off'). Over the past 8 months we have met some wonderful people so it was pretty difficult leaving!
We would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank-you to you for your continued support during our time in Peru. We have been totally overwhelmed by how generous people have been- sending cards, gifts, donations not forgetting your continued support in prayer. It really does mean so much and got us through the last 8 months!!
