After a long day of traveling, we've finally arrived in Brasil! Yesterday at 4pm Nathan, Jon, Bethany, and I met the Palmer and Olson families at the airport in Minneapolis for our farewell to America! We had a time of prayer and headed onto a plane for Chicago. That flight went well though we had to RUN to our connecting flight. We were the last passangers on the plane to Sao Paulo! The 10 hour flight went very smoothly and before we knew it, we were landed in Brasil. The Lord was definately watching out for us...we had no problems going through customs! After an extremely short flight from Sao Paulo to Curitiba, we were picked up by Pastor Paul Abel. He took us on a fun drive through the city and then to a service at one of their churches. It was so amazing to finally be with the people! Though our Portuguese skills are incredibly lacking at the moment (please pray that we all pick it up quickly!!), we had some great conversations getting to know everyone. They are all so welcoming and friendly...shining with Christ's love! The night finished off with dinner and fellowship at the Abel's home. The Abel's have been so hospitible, and we appreciate them so much! Right now it sounds like we'll be spending a week or two at their home. We'll keep you updated on what's going on here:)
Jet lag might be setting in so I'll sign off for now....but thanks again for all the prayers for a safe journey!
In Jesus,
Amanda
