my times in Brazil

well everyone we finally made it to Brazil and we are having a wonderful time. since nobody really speaks any english I am learning some portuguese. That has been interesting. I love it though. We have gotten to talk to a church about how God has work through our lives in China carry bibles, India overcoming many obstacles none knew we could face head on, Uganda where we got to love children and better their lives by manual work. The next day we passed out fliers for a big performance in the park encouraging people to come see us so we may be able share God´s word with them. It took place in a huge square in the middle of the town. We put on a skit for them, and had a sermon done by one of my team members Sean, and had a lot of music. It was a great and moving time to see the people Sorriso come to be thirsty to hear what we had to say. Today we visited a drug rehab center. that has been the most moving time since I have been hear because these people truly are clinging to God for help. There are kids as young as 13 there and as old as 60 something, but they are all there for the same reason they needed help or they would die. This young man shared his story and it touched me. He was a cocaine addict and got put into a coma and the doctors said he probably would never come out of it and if he did he would not walk or talk again. By the grace of God he was saved and lived to walk and speak again and is now been in treatment regaining what used to be his life. That is life many of the stories there, and it is a beautiful thing I have more days to come and I hope they are as memorable as this one. goodbye from Brazil. Love Always Heather
