I'm In Brazil!!

I'm so excited to finally share with you all that I have finally arrived in Brazil!! Praise the Lord! God has taught me alot from my wilderness experience but I am so thankful to finally be here. To be in the place I prayed everyday that God would get me to is really exciting. God is so good! He has taught me alot about himself while I was in sacramento now I'm excited to find out how he is going to use me here in brazil and why he has called me to come here. God has continued time and time again to prove his faithfulness....I am so blessed to be here right now!
I am so excited to work with the orphans and the street children to show them the love of Jesus that they have never known or felt! Thank you so much for helping make this trip possible and for all your prayers! At first it was a little scary to fly to brazil where I have never been before alone but God gave me the grace necessary to get here.
The pineapple here is absolutely amazing....so juicy....puts the pineapple in america to shame. I wish you all could try some...very amazing! :) Right now I am staying at Pastor Richard's with his family and that has been such a blessing! They have been very open and loving which has been such an amazing blessing! Then next week I am off to help with a camp with the team. Right now I am in campinas and the team has been in Belo so I am so very excited to finally meet all of them! So things have definetly been great so far and God has been showing me brazil through his eyes which is so eye opening...just the love he has for these people its amazing. Please keep me in your prayers as I continue to make this transition and enter into the lifestyle of the brazillian people. It's always an adventure and a big change to live in a foreign country but God is giving me the grace necessary....God is faithful! I'll try to keep you posted as much as possible. Thank you for your prayers and I will keep you in mine as well! In all his love, Lindsey
