I Leave for Brazil in 3 weeks!
 

I'm SO excited! I fly to Brazil in 20 days with a Missions group out of East TN (Actually S. Hoover's Uncle-in-law's group). We are staying at Iguazu Falls in SW Brazil for a week, and then I leave the group and fly alone up to visit with the Alvears for 2-1/2 days in NE Brazil!! I will meet back up with the group in Rio and fly home. I will be gone from home 12 days, which is the longest I've ever been away from Eddie, so that will be sort of weird.

I had a prophet from New Zealand prophesy over me a couple years ago (who didn't know me at all) and said that I would start going to the nations without Eddie. I knew it was a confirmation of what I'd been feeling, because I have this tremendous burden for foreign missions, and he has this tremendous burden to send money but not go. LOL!! I have gone twice to Costa Rica without him, and now I will go to Brazil. Next year, I will probably be going to Kenya without him too, unless God changes his mind.

I can hardly wait to hang out with the Alvears in their homeland and see what God is doing through their ministry!!!

Sherri,

I know you have to be waaaayyyyy excited! I am excited FOR you :)

And just a tad jealous. LOL

Have a great time. I pray that this trip will be lots of fun, but even more, that it will be a profitable trip for the Kingdom of God. :)

Boy, oh boy! Isn't THAT the truth!! Sure wish I could join you. But alas, there is this little thing called money :(

BUT, to my delight, I am looking forward to meeting the Alvear's on Sunday at MOW's church :)

...and we are so honored that Sherri will come up and visit with us while her friends will be going to some of the most exciting sightseeing tours of Brazil...

You all you precious folks are invited to visit with us anytime...

Their church is having a "singing" while I'm there. I can't tell you how excited I am to get to go to that! Every time I hear Bro. Alvear's CD, it makes me cry - the Portuguese is so beautiful! I won't understand a thing, but I will enjoy it all.

Ditto to Margie and Cindy.

I hope you have a wonderful time!
