One of the things a missionary has to do a lot is say "good-bye." Sometimes it's to family and friends in the States when we're leaving for the field or returning after home assignment. Sometimes it's to friends and co-workers on the field when we're going on home assignment and sometimes it's to co-workers who are leaving the field permanently. Our team has had to say "good-bye" twice in the past month. The first time was to a couple that has been teaching at ECA. They came to Spain for 2 years and ended up staying for 9! The second time (just this past week) was to a family that has been serving in the Basque country for the past 4 1/2 years. It's never easy to say the words and I wonder if I'll ever get used to it.

Pat, it's so good to see YOU in the photos, too! I know it is sad to see those dear friends leave the country.
