United with my twin sons!
What an amazing two weeks this has been! I have so many memories to go home with and challenges to ruminate and apply in due course over the coming days, weeks, months, years. God has been gracious every step of the way, and although our team was by no means perfect, I would not have had it any other way, as this is what God had intended, and it was a privalige. I personally learnt a lot about the others in the team and about myself, and felt it has been a growing experience. The love shown by the Brazilian people has been mind blowing, along with the 2 tons of food I have eaten, and my prayer is that I can take just a tiny piece of this back to the uk. I have surprised myself in so many ways, from being able to cope with 2 weeks of 10-14 hour days, being around people this amount of time. This has been challenging but rewarding as I am someone who needs thier personal space and has had none. I found working with the children very rewarding, and strangely enjoyable, despite never really wishing to venture in this direction. I had an opportunity to do a short preach, visited lots of people, making me more confident in open prayer. I even found myself doing a little craft, finding my long lost twin sons, oops I mean making some SUNS for the Pepe room. I really dont want to go tomorrow, and wish I had more time to work here for God as there is so much left to do. That said I look forward to sleeping in my comfortable double bed, getting a full nights sleep, and doing mission in my every day life back home, hopefully with renewed vigour. I Praise God for all that has been done in this place, and hope one day to return!!

Have followed you and the group all the way, sitting back here it has been a joy to follow but sad to see how some people live.
