Bon Dia!

Bom Dia (Good Morning!)

During diner last night we watched some of the soccer match between two Brazilian teams - Corinthians and International. Let me just tell you - these Brazilians don't mess around about their Football! There was much celebrating late into the night - fireworks, guns firing, horns blowing, and people yelling. We enjoyed listening to the festivities for a while, but thankfully we were all so sleepy that we didn't have a problem sleeping through it.

Early this morning there was a rain storm that came through with majestic thunder and lightening. It was overcast and drizzling when we woke up this morning but things have started to clear up and the sun looks like it is going to make an appearence.

We have a day of preparation ahead. We brought a LOT of extra luggage - supplies for the children, camp activities, t-shirts for the volunteers, printed material for the people attending the camp. Speaking of the camp, one of our team members will be posting soon a recap of specifically what we are going to be doing for those of you who haven't heard all the plans.

We are excited about what the days holds. Expectant that God is going to be working in and through us.

Our Verse for the day:
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us."
Hebrews 12:1
