Tomorrow we fly to Brazil!
0445 departure from the church…….drive to Chicago……fly to Miami………fly to Manaus……..11pm arrival…at hotel around 1am”ish”
It will be a long day, but it will be so worth it!
The last week or so has been full! I’ve been a bit quiet on here so I thought I’d give you an update.
I had to build a small (VERY SMALL) deck + steps for the back yard. It’s not quite done…but, almost there. I’ll add a railing and then it will be safe!
It’s nice to be able to “do this stuff” without having to hire it out.
OH—–and then, when you think you’re almost caught up with life—–LIFE happens!!! The very next morning, I had to go to Lowe’s and buy (and install) THIS!!!!!
Plumbers have my respect!
Too much drama for me! hahahha
Over the weekend, I stopped by Bass Pro and picked up a hat. I rarely wear hats. But, I’ve learned that it/when I’m outside all day long in full sun near the equator, it is highly advised to cover the ol’ noggin.
Yesterday, not one…but TWO different people that I saw ended up giving me money to take with us to Brazil. They want me to share it with those who are less fortunate. I’ll find out what the best way is to help them. Maybe buy something that people would need and then take it with us on the boat? We’ll see!!!
My barber yesterday gave me a small gift crafted from wood. He sent a few bucks with me to bless someone else with. Here’s my hair-do! Before / After =o) hhehehehehehe
Today, I did a little bit of shopping for the trip. Some candy to bring to share with others. I also bought a super cool Survival Knife that I hope to give away while there.
While in Brazil, I “might” be able to share a post. We’ll be “in” the interior for about 5 nights and then back to the city. The nights in the jungle should be without Wi-Fi. But, I’m sure the city will not be a problem.
IF you think of me………I appreciate your prayers. I’ll be preaching a few times in the interior and in the city.
In Manaus, I’ll be preaching July 2nd at “Central Church” for their evening service. What an honor! I SO look forward to it!!!
Blessings,
Robert
