A little girl taking a bath in the river.

resting in the hamocks on a boat trip, your bed while on the river. :)

Free dental work for the villagers .
Meeting a few kids. I need a tan. ha!

Well, wow. I am back in Louisville. Most people ask, "How was it?"
I am have been wondering how you sum up this time there. HUMMM... I still have yet to land on anything. So here goes my attempt:
Brazil was both an amazing experience and a privilege. I was able to help out in tons of different ways. Boat trips (construction, health, evangelism, children's programs), graphics, cell groups, some big jobs and lots of little jobs that needed extra hands. And myself and a few other short-termers were just that, extra hands.
SO things I miss from Brazil: Cupuacu (I doubt I spelled that right, but it is strange fruit that I came to really like). Nap time (America needs to institute this). Really what I find myself missing are the friendships and relationships I was building there with the youth and young adults. And the purpose over everything (making disciples).
Don't worry I am not hating America or Americans now. But it is taking a bit to get used to it again. It is so nice to see family and kick back and laugh with friends.
Am I going back? Good question. I am praying about it, my heart misses it and is like, "Yeah, lets go." So right now I am taking time to adjust and visit with people here in the states. Please keep me in your prayers as I continue to seek what God has for me. I also want to say thank you for all of you who have supported me with your prayers and financial support. Is an honor to have people who are willing to get involved and get excited about the opportunities to share Christ with others. I pray the Lord is blessing you and your families in enormous ways. Hope to see you or talk to you soon.
