The journey continues....

This trip just continues to get better!! After being with Marcelo in Limeira, we traveled to Sao Paulo to meet up with the Eagles Brasil! We made it just in time for their first game as a professional team! It was awesome to see them playing here in Brazil for the Lord. One of the teams that was going to play after them did not show up, therefore there was an open chance to play a Brazilian professional women's team, so we did! We only played 1 30 minute half. We had two of the Brazil eagles girls join us to make 11 players. There was one injury, Riley had a slight twist of the ankle that got caught in the turf. Please pray that a miracle occurs so that she is able to join the team in play this last week in Brazil. There is some nice swelling and bruising but she has been walking on it since it happened. (Mom and Dad, I am OK! I will try and call later! :-) ) We won the game 1-0, thanks to Evona (an eagles brazil player).
We then went back to join the Eagles where they are staying, one mile from the beach! We had a little meet and greet session at their hotel and then it was time for bed!
We woke up the following morning and walked to the beach to watch the BEAUTIFUL sunrise come over a mountain! It was a great reminder of how great our God is! We had such a great time and OF COURSE took millions of pictures! We then walked back and ate breakfast. The bread was amazing and the coffee was unlike any other!

I appologize but I have run out of time. We are about to start a bible study so I must go... I will continue this update later!

  1. Of course we have been praying for all of you during this whole trip. Now we will pray especially hard for RILEY! Right or left ankle? Wonderful to hear of the opportunities you are having.
    RILEY: Amazing to see how God is developing your testimony...revealing your true character. Don't forget--- ace, ice, elevate, anti-inflammatory.
    Love to all!
