Brazil Mission Trip

We arrived in Brazil yesterday evening to our final destination.  We were scheduled to be here at 2pm but didn't make it until 8pm due to being held up in Miami with a delayed flight.  So we missed our connection in Sao Paulo and had to catch a later flight.

The delay was due to American Airlines overbooking the flight.  I guess they loaded everyones luggage and then had to take the luggage off of those that did not make it on the plane.  That ended up being a 2-3 hour process of us just sitting there on the plane.  Not the most fun we've ever had but it's over.

Other than that, all the traveling went well and all of our luggage made it here safely.  When we got here, the church had a welcome service for us.  Made us feel special since we weren't sure that would happen b/c we arrived so much later than expected.  We shared in songs of praise to Jesus and also shared our dance with them.  They really get into it, especially the kids, trying to mimic the sweet moves.  They really love their music down here and they love it loud.

We woke up this morning to a good breakfast of PB&J, ham & cheese and scrambled eggs.  We had coffee and juice as well.

VBS went very well today.  We shared a drama, a lesson and craft followed by a snack.  We had about 60+ kids there.  Afterward we helped prune some trees around the church building and then came in for lunch.

We are all doing well and enjoying the blessing of this opportunity.  Thank you all for your prayers.
