Well our trip to Brasil is over halfway done and I still haven't posted an update on the blog! We had no flight troubles through our connections and ended up landing in Goiania. Some friends picked us up and took us to Anapolis (300,000) . We spent a night there before catching a bus 8 hours North into the state of Tocantins, where we stayed with friends. They have a Chacara (small farm) about 10k outside of Formoso do Araguaia. While there we helped them with some projects they had going on (ie. building a Chapeu de Palha). The house they were living in was still under construction so it had no electricity and only was partially covered with a roof. We had an awesome time hearing of God's faithfulness to them and their huge family, and even got to visit two Villages on Bananal Island (Worlds largest freshwater island).
After spending a week with them we returned to Anapolis for a few days where my sister had 4 wisdom teeth removed. After a couple recovery days, we headed to a small town an hour from Anapolis where *** has a school and language training program. That is where we are right now. I helped out putting a new roof on part of the high school, and my sister & Cherie helped painting and cleaning.
We were able to do some fun stuff throughout our stay as well. (climbing waterfalls, swimming, hiking, exploring a cave etc..).
Tuesday we head to Rio before flying home on the 18th of July. Thank you all for your prayers & support!
