It is a little after 10:30 A.M. in Brazil. We arrived in Santarem a little after 9 A.M. Saturday morning. We stayed an extra day in Estrada D (pronounced Estrada Day) to get the trusses for the roof on the building. The team is very tired from a week of hard work in a beautiful community. We are all safe, but have lots of stories to share. We went into town after breakfast Saturday morning to find gifts for family, friends, and donors. We will be uploading more pictures in the next few days now that we are back into the city. Unfortunately we do not have Wifi in the guesthouse. We have had a fabulous week of fellowship, people accepting Christ as their Savior (Hallelujah!), and growing very close as a team. Each team member will write about their favorite things that happened this week when we are able, but wanted to let all concerned know we are safe. I did want to share one short story on something we did on Wednesday at the construction site. As a team, we joined with the Brazilian workers and walked the entire building & site praying for God's blessing, protection, growth, & favor over the new church & community. After completing our prayer walk, Pastor Chuck (Sumner) prayed a POWERFUL prayer blessing the church as John Tucker anointed the structure & all it's openings & walls with oil. I have NEVER felt such a strong presence of the Holy Spirit!! We have so many stories of Jesus' presence & grace & will try to upload the stories while traveling home over the next few days, as well as new photos. We are excited to be heading home, but will miss the people we have grown to love this week. We also miss you all so much!!! Especially you Rebecca (selfish post!) Therefore keep checking the blog! Can't wait to see each & every one of you & share what got has done with your financial & personal sacrifices pn this amazing trip! See you soon! (With assistance from Kristi Page)
