I am in BRASIL! Back HOME!!!

I am back to Brazil, I can’t believe! First day was very strength but as the days goes I am finding it easier than I thought, I am sure it is your prayers for my easy adjustment back here!
A bunch of people came to the airport and had a big sign saying: Welcome to your reality, we love you! They were loud and made a big party at the airport, everyone else was looking to us! Yes WE ARE Brazilians! Afterwards couple people came to my home and I had breakfast with them! Later my father made a BIG family lunch, with a beautiful table set up and at night couple friends came over for a barbecue! I was able to witness at the bbq with some non-Chritians family friends! Praise God!
Last Saturday we had a traditional event named "Noite Black" where couple gospel choir performance and many non-Christians come to see! I felt home! I was praising in my native language, in the language I first learned to praise my God! That was so special! On Sunday was great being at MY dear church!
Enoy my back home pics! God bless you!

Homesick!

Countdown...8 days and I'll be back in Brazil! The last days are the hardest ones!!
I'm so happy for what God has done up here, He did amazing things that I didn't know! Please pray that the next couple days go smooth.

As most of you knows, I had a unexpected sirurgy, I had to take appendix out. It was a miracle how everything happened and God's hands was over the whole thing. I saw the doctor last Monday and he said I look good! He told me the recuperation would take 6 weeks and no lifting weight before it! It's been almost 3 weeks now!

Being away for so long from home and all the sirurgy thing made me very homesick!!! God bless you and Thanks for all your support and prayers!
A day before I get in the hospital, I was helping out with VBS at Oak Hills Church! Kids made a Brazilian chocolate dessert, brigadeiro!

Teaching a Portuguese children song in Portuguese for the kids at the VBS!
Visits at Home! Judy and Amanda!
More visits! Stefanie and her mom!
