Hello, family and friends! We are writing to you from Aveiro today. Yesterday we visited Santa Cruz, and Fordlandia on Wednesday. We have spent our mornings going into schools to do VBS and purity workshops. In the afternoon, the boys played soccer with some of the local teams. We have witnessed 50+ people give their lives to Christ! Our Lord is alive and with us! The people have been so inviting and welcoming to us. Our team is growing closer to each other and meaningful relationships are building. We praise God for his protection and strength. We invite you to pray for our team to stay hydrated, cool, and healthy.

We'd like to share some highlights from these past few days. In Fordlandia we had a lot of fun embracing their culture and participating in activities such as dancing! Yesterday we had some rain, and the boys took full advantage of showering outside. (pictures to come!) We are really enjoying teaching the kids about Jesus, and playing games with them. The land and people here are all so beautiful. We are in awe of God's wonderful creations. We will try to update with pictures and videos later today!

Love,

Courtney and Kendra
