To quote Maestro Tabárez, national team coach and principal inspiration for the writing contest E participated
in:
“The journey is the reward!”
We’re extremely thankful for our Loving Shepherd’s grace to
our family in helping our Little People adapt to learning – and, in E’s case,
excelling – in another language.
Matías (from AUF) was the
main organizer of the contest.
At yesterday’s
awards ceremony, seven finalists were recognized in each category and then the
winners were announced. E was in the top seven in the 3rd & 4th grade
category. Finalists were given vouchers for four tickets each for the Uruguay
vs Colombia Game (which will be held in mid-October). And the seating will be
right down by the field – far nicer than we’ve ever been in before!
The jury, along with representatives from the sponsoring groups
(AUF and Cámara Uruguaya del Libro), presented the awards
to the finalists and winners.
Yesterday’s
experience was definitely a highlight for us as a family.
DJ enjoyed the book fair!
He’s very proud of his Sister!
We celebrated with our favorite ice-cream!

Our schooling
journey (at first on the road and now across languages) has definitely involved
speed bumps and potholes and detours as well as moments of felt frustration and
even tears. Yesterday’s experience was *a hug* from our Loving Shepherd. He
knows our need; He is lovingly leading – as He always does – in righteous paths.
For His Name’s sake! Even His rod and His staff (instruments of discipline!)
comfort us. We can affirm with the psalmist that we shall not lack anything...
What a God we
serve!
