We're Back! Come to the Mission Presentation on Sunday 8/19!

We're back! One of our last posts until the

Sunday August 19th cross training

(9:20am at the St. Paul Sanctuary)

Where we'll review the mission results, share some personal stories and review an awesome slide show of what we all accomplished together. We also may have some Brazilian special morning food.

Be there or be square!

Here's Stephanie, Pastor Tom, Terri and Megan welcoming everyone home at the Deerfield Tri Rail station.

Here's Virginia welcoming Carl home with some well deserved, snacks, water and coffee.

Here's Drew welcoming Leslie home.

Here's Pastor Glick who hasn't had this long of a period not speaking with Sally for 45 years!

Our TAM airbus parked safely at MIA.

Here's Alex loading the bus, he's an animal!

Here's Carl the cribbage shark beating up on some innocent non-cribbage players at the Sao Paulo airport (including me).

10:45pm to Miami... red eye to the max!

Here's Sabrina giving Alex a grandmother style goodbye kiss complete with pinching his cheeks.

Our prayers go out to the families that are effected by the plane crash earlier at the Sao Paulo airport. Here we drove by the crash site on the way out.

We stopped at a gem store on the way to the airport, blue light special for the Christians on aisle 3... this is where the crosses were.

A view of the Sao Paulo skyline, the 3rd largest metropolitan area in the world and largest in South America with 17.7M people. WOW!
