Dois che bensoi

I~m sure that was totally spelt wrong but that is how i phoenetically spell God bless you in portuguese. Our team is currently in a city in Brazil called Benjamin Constant. We will be here for two weeks, we are staying at a community center that is right across the street from the church that we are partnering with. We are doing a lot with the youth from the church, and has been quite interesting doing so and forming friendships despite the language barrier.

This is the place that has been most impacting to me thusfar, and I think its because Brazil is the place that God placed on our teams heart. I think that the place that we are staying in is no accident at all. We are in a community center where right outside kids gather every day to jump into the pool (tile covered hole in the ground filled with slimy green water) and guys come to play futbol *pronouced fuchibol in portuguese. God has placed us here for a reason and i know that we are making an impact, just as much as we are being impacted by the people.

I appreciate all of your prayers!
