chegamos :-)

we have arrived safe and sound! the flight was easy. going through customs was fast. the food is amazing. God is faithful. we met our host, Marcelo, at the airport and he took us to his town, limeira. we had our first taste of brazilian food (but no chicken hearts, yet....we´ll wait until Heather and Bekah arrive for that!)

then Marcelo took us to our first home...a beautiful, tropical, simple home surrounded by fruit trees and a small soccer field in the back yard, of course. after a short 4 hour nap, we are at our first church service and the church peeps are kind enough to let us use their computer to tell you all that we are safe.

prayer requests: tomorrow morning is our first clinic with 50- 70 children from the local community. pray for lives to eternally change. we have our first game tomorrow afternoon and we will be at church again tomorrow night. pray for unity in our group, health for our bodies and Christ to shine through us as we love these beautiful people.

te amamos muito....tchau!
