Brazil continued...












We are having a wonderful time. We are talking to many people and there are some remarkable stories from just the last few days.

We went to a church that was created for CHILDREN. The church specifically focuses their entire service to reach the poorest of the poor children in their community. The pastor was crazy. He needs his own TV show. We were going to put on a performance for them, but they ended up putting on a performance for us, and the pastor made sure we joined in on the fun. It turned into a 15 minute karaoke/dance party. I put a picture up for now...I'll put a video up later. Abby and David love to go to do performances and talk with people. David especially has been quite the "star" here because of his big blue eyes and smile.
Abby has some wonderful friends here. The two boys in the picture are Vinny and David - they are brothers of one of our interpreters.


The church had baptisms for about 30 people, but when it came time to drain the pool, the water overflowed from the drain so some of the pictures are of us cleaning up the water from the pool in the church...David helped too.












There have been many wonderful stories from our time here and I can not type them all, but God is transforming many peoples lives and we are just amazed to be used by Him to see it happen.
