I know how hard it is to send your babies off to be in someone else's care, but if they could help to reach one soul for the Lord, then I know that it will be worth every tear you cried that morning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873703409588157947.post-79257633111382591522008-06-17T00:58:00.000+01:002008-06-17T00:58:00.000+01:00Hello!

I am so excited to hear you sent your children. I like to share this experience with those who are curious. It was honestly the best decision my parents ever made for us children. We spoke Portuguese fluently within three months. All of us children had a burden for the Portuguese people (my brother is returning to Portugal as a missionary, and my husband and I are going to England. Anyway...I'm very happy for your children. They will relate to the Portuguese children and brake the barriers that lay between them. They will grow to appreciate the Portuguese customs and culture. I'm thrilled for your family. You will find things are very different in school over there....sometimes my teacher just wouldn't show up! I am still close to my classmates and when I go to Portugal to visit my brother I'm planning on visiting my teacher (you keep the same teacher 1-4 grade). We were able to see many of our classmates come to Sunday School and visit with there families to share God's plan of salvation. Also, my father had the privilege to teach English in our school. This gave him many oppotunities to make even more contacts. Wow, this is long...I'm sorry, it's just very special to me!

But I have to agree with the others; I believe this will help them learn the language quicker.
