Arrival in Brazil

Hello Family,

Praise God we've arrive safely in Brazil and slept a little.

The last church that my parents planted in down-town Belem stayed up all night making the last preparations for our arrival. They did a fantastic job setting us up. It's more like a church camp setting but very livable - little refrigerator, stove, water dispenser, & a fan in each room... There is no kitchen sink, so we'll do the dishes in the bathroom sink. We're so thankful we have so much. We're down the street from the place in a "cyber cafe".

Abrãços, (The Brazilians end their letters and phone calls this way and that word (abrassoos) means "Hugs!")
Daniel, Melissa, Elijah, & Esther

Hope Family Fellowship Send-off to Brazil

Thank you so much Hope Family Fellowship for the loving send-off to Brazil - with many joining in prayer around us and later the fun memories and tears shared. We thank each one of you in all the churches undergirding this work of the Lord which is just beginning.

WE ARE SO GRATEFUL ! ! !

Pray for Melissa and the kids as they continue to learn Portuguese. Pray for me (Daniel) as I begin translating materials for storytelling the gospel among the Makua from www.siutraining.org
