No rest for the weary traveler. I had a ton of laundry to do from vacation. Halfway through my first of seven loads, my dryer, yes the used one I just bought in June, died. Uuugghhh. Oh well, it just meant I would have to spread the loads out over the week, along with Vinde,... Continue Reading →

With Marcos back as our requested driver, we hit the Friendship Bridge to Paraguay. I really can’t tell you what crossing the border is like because we just gave our passports to the driver and he took care of the rest each time. The border city is Ciudad Del Este in Alto Paraná. Right at... Continue Reading →

Of course, by now you’ve guessed what country we headed to next. Iguazu Falls (or Cataratas del Iguazú on the Argentina side) are beautiful. They give you more of a top down view, which is an amazing contrast to the Brazilian side. You really need to view the falls from both sides. We had a... Continue Reading →

Iguazu Falls (or Foz do Iguaçu on the Brazil side) I have been so excited about this trip. We planned it months ago and it’s finally here. Given the fact that we visited three different countries and I have lots of pictures, I am going to split this trip up into three posts; one for... Continue Reading →

Dress up time. David and Tucker were having a blast dancing around to get psyched up for when the Infantil, our PreK through Kindergarteners, and the Primeiro Anos, our First Graders, arrive for dress up time. The littles love this so much. I think these two do too. I’ll spare y’all the video of them... Continue Reading →

Not too much to report this week serving. Pretty much a normal week. So this post is pretty short. Trevor had some keys made. Yep, that’s the key guy. There are multiple places like this around the city to get your keys made. Mason and I led our second English class and it was much... Continue Reading →

Well, last week was spent preparing for the incoming team from Ohio. With most of the staff gone to a counseling conference for the week, we were left to help Liandro hold down the fort. This consisted of picking up the sheets and blankets from the cleaners, getting the vans washed, making beds, and making... Continue Reading →

We have been waiting to hike Pedra Grande until this month when we would have the time and the weather wouldn’t be blazing hot. We loaded up the car with the interns and headed out. Labeled the City’s Postcard, Pedra Grande, or Large Stone, is a main attraction for the city of Atibaia. Raising to... Continue Reading →

We had a Super Short week with School and Stroganoff. This week was pretty low key. The missionaries are busy planning and preparing for the start of second semester in August, but with the kids being gone and with us just being volunteers, we don’t have a lot of responsibilities right now. This timed out... Continue Reading →

So this week we were on vacation, as the semester for the kids ended. Although, we didn’t know it was going to be all vacation, it basically was. We accompanied Roberto and his family to Caldas Novas to drop off Daniel for his month long internship at Palavra da Vida Centro-Oeste. Caldas Novas is in... Continue Reading →
