Rome Coummity Church

Rome Coummity Church Mission Team should be arriving at the airport as I write. Although going through customs and getting the baggage then takes a little more time. Rogerio left this morning to pick them up. He took our van so no room for all of us to go. There are 10 people coming all from my HOMETOWN. It is amazing that one year ago they started to plan their trip here and now they are arriving. We believe God has a special plan for them here. We have just arrive here too in Carpina so we are believe God as He takes us to the places he wants us to go. They will be doing basketball clinics to help Rogerio start up his basketball program. Just this morning the man at the bakery said that he had a daughter 12 about his height that would like to play basketball!! He said that there are many tall kids in Carpina. I have yet to see them. I forsure am the tallest and just the other day a group of girls called me a telephone pole. That was a first and we all had a good laugh!! We even found a court outside that a bunch of guys are playing basketball. I will be writing up dates as the week goes on!

August Letter

Hi Everyone,
Thank you for praying for our trip. We are here in Carpina in the Northeast part of Brazil! We traveled for five days by car. It was a long but good trip. We got to see so much or Brazil. The highlight was one day at the beach in a town called Aracaju. Even Lady our dog did fine in her cage the whole time.

Carpina is in Brazil but it feels like a different country to us. The accent is so different, the customes, the food so we are adjusting. Up here there are no blond tall people so I stick out like a sore thumb. Even Rogerio and the kids have a different look.

Our new house is right in the center the city. We can walk everywhere. Our house is like an upstair apartment but big with four bedrooms and four baths. Our dog now is an indoor dog and gets to go out on a lease with me to run on the sidewalk. Different is not bad or good it is just different.

Our kids are all in school. Rebeca will go in the morning too because I will be teaching all morning. I will have 3rd/4th, 5th/6th, 7th- 9th, and 5 year old English classes. I have some planning to do. It is an International School so the kids are all learning English in various classes during the day with Portuguese subjects too. They are at school from 7:30 to 4 so it is a long day for them. Tiago was excited today because he was going to try Karate.

Rome Community Church from Bellingham WA will be arriving on Friday August 5. They will be with us for a week. They will be going to the schools with Rogerio to start up his basketball programs.

We are believing that God sent us here even though it may not always be easy. Ephesian 1:19 says” and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might”

PS We do not have our internet hooked up yet so communication is not very good but look at Rogerio’s ministry blog for some pictures
