Brazil Mission Trip

We have arrived from our Brazil Mission Trip. I cannot believe we left sunshine & sunburns for being snowed in. I love it.

But, we will certainly miss the tropical fruit - mango, graviola, silver bananas, acai, papaya, passion fruit (maracuya), guava, jaboticaba, sweetsop, cashews, cashew fruit, jackfruit - growing in the wild Brazilian land. Yumm! We need to go back!

The view from Escola dos Profetas, (Alcançando Corações, RHI Brazil). In this picture, notice how the tree casts a shadow on the lake that makes it look like a heart.

Sabbath. The children singing "This Little Light of Mine" in Portuguese.







After Sabbath lunch, we walked door-to-door to visit a few of the locals to hand out donated toys and remind them of Vacation Bible School starting that evening. One of the locals showed us this cute little monkey.
This was absolutely delicious as a main dish. Jackfruit "meat". Wow, the center is cooked and prepared, breaded, and fried/baked. A nice meaty main dish for any meal. The edges (yellow part) is the fruit eaten raw. Interesting taste.



RHI group built the foundation of the married housing and the cesspool.



Driving through the city...




Vacation at the beach, swimming with the fish, and enjoying more coconut water.
