Traveling to Sao Paulo- WOW!

The trip to Sao Paulo Monday night was awesome, it was blessed by being uneventful and being winter in the Southern Hemisphere it's in the 50's-70's. You can tell that Mike and Stephan were very happy to be getting on the way...

Pastor Tom led us in prayer at St. Paul to get us started. Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers, we know our efforts will be impactful.

Phil, David and Alex are ready to rock after loading the short bus named "nugget". Pastor Glick was an excellent driver!

Guilherme was our first Brazilado that we met, he was very helpful and accepting of our poor attempt at speaking Portuguese.

Josephine and Mike all nestled snugly on our TAM "redeye" flight.

Home again for Simone, she's been an awesome interpreter and cultural advisor... OK!

Pastor Tom and David poised appropriately under the Shine sign at Sao Paulo's busiest airport.
We made it to Sao Paulo and experienced first hand what we've been preparing for for months. Thanks for your support, your efforts WILL make a difference!

Rock On St Paul Missionaries!!! You look all fresh and ready to do God's work. Praying for your safety and "endurance". Just kidding... I'm sure you'll be too excited to think about being tired.

God bless you all
