First of all this trip surpassed my expectations after the first school we visited. It has been awesome, and it’s definitely something that I will never forget. I feel privileged to even have an opportunity to come to Brazil and meet all these new people: the translators, athletes, missionaries and everyone else that I have worshiped with. I feel as if a part of me will be left in Brazil with these people, and I know that I am carrying home a part of all the people here. Today I gave my testimony in front of a group of children and their parents and if you read my other blog I was really nervous about it, because it was the first time I’ve ever done it. It did not go exactly the way I was planning but I think that what I said turned out better, all thanks to God! Thanks to those who prayed for me about that aspect of this trip. Thanks to Tony who has put together this blog he has done so well keeping everyone updated on how our trip is going. Also I want to thank everyone who made this happen I will appreciate you for my whole life, special thanks to BW, Sharon, and Ray who made all the connection and made it possible for us all to come and be a part of this trip.
