Merry Christmas!

We are at my parents house. It was a 16 hour trip.
It is great to be with them and see my two brothers and new niece.
It has been a couple of years since all three of us have been together.
We will be here until the 27th then we go to Telmas family for several days. We hope to be back home on the 31st. For January we have 13 day camps scheduled in 13 different villages!

May you have a great time celebrating the birth of our Saviour!

We made it!!!

After four weeks of intense preperation and lots of work we are finally here in Virgem da Lapa! The move went very smoothly and we are thankful for all your prayers! The house is pretty much assembled and the Kids and Telma are doing well!
Next week we will be giving a training for the staff od 3 local organizations that work with poor folks from the vast rural area of these parts!
I will try to put some pictures up o the blog for you to see later on this week!
