We are now in BRAZIL wooohooo

It's rather strange to be here....and such a long way from home
Travelling time.....14 hrs flying
6 hrs car journeys
11hrs waiting in airports
1.5 hrs waiting on a plane to take off (this was probably the worst bit, they only spoke portuguese to tell us wahat the problem was, Gideon thought they said there was a fish stuck on the runway, at least we had a laugh.)

I thought you'd all like to know what the weather is doing (just to be British), it is lovely and hot, not too hot though, we've seen 1 thunder storm, pretty amazing really, aparently it's unusually dry for Belo Horizonte in the summertime.

We've all been up and down about being here, I think the realisation that we don't have a ticket home is quite odd. We are living on a beautiful site, with great outdoor space for the boys to play in, we are only a stones throw from a large favela (poor slum), which Josiah and Gideon find strange, and a bit scary. God continues to remind us that we should be strong and courageous (Joshua 1:3-9).

We've had a fairly gentle start, as our DTS doesn't begin until Monday 21st, it's been great to settle in a bit and get to know some new people.
