Yay....pictures!!!
Here´s a quick visual recap on our trip here til today. When we get internet at home, we will be able to update this more and with videos (which we already have a TON of).
Hava asleep on the plane!Al- not asleep on the plane.Hava and Al in the Fortaleza airport.All of us trying to take a picture together in the airport (Hava was asleep).With our friends in Fortaleza on the beach. Hava´s first try at the hammock...she LOVES it and sleeps in it pretty much every day.Hava with `carambolas`(starfruit)Lunchtime today....she was digging the chicken....literally!We have already had quite a bit happen since we´ve been here. Mostly good stuff....but we have been very busy. Last night we had a very important meeting - and during the meeting, the enemy was not happy - he tried his best to distract us all - there was a party going on (which is against the law on weeknights) which was playing extremely loud and extremely explicit music as we tried to pray and prepare for the ministry- every one of us had headaches because of the blaring lyrics. We were up until after midnight because of the distraction, but blessed be the L-RD´s name, we recognized the work of the enemy and prayed against the distraction and were able to get everything done regardless. We pretty much have our schedule together now, but have 2 more meetings to finalize everything. Tonight we came very close to being robbed on the street, but as always, our Mighty Father is watching over us and protecting us. Please be praying for Eli as he is on his way here as I type this. Once he gets here, things should be on a roll. We will give you more specifics and VIDEO as soon as we can.

Patience...:o)

As we are also learning patience to deal with those things we cannot control, please be patient with us. :o) We are trying to upload pictures, but since we do not yet have internet at home, we are very limited. We will update again as soon as we can. On the brighter side, we have already met with a few people who are 100% on board with the project. Please keep the believers in your prayers who are also stepping out by faith to complete the task before us. Pray for a missionary family here whose son was just murdered in the states last week. Pray for Eli as he travels here on thursday/friday to help us.

We are finally here! We arrived at 12:30am on Thursday. Yesterday was slow since we were just trying to catch up on sleep. Hava was GREAT on the trip. She only had a screaming episode on the first descent, because she was asleep and couldn´t pop her ears. But from then on, she slept on most of the flights. We stopped in Fortaleza, Ceara and caught up with some old friends who supported us when we dated and who are still in the ministry, as well as their 3 children. We had at least 2 flight where there were Jewish men on our planes. One we did not have the pleasure of speaking with, but the other actually spoke with us. Al was able to talk to Steve (an American married to a Brazilian who met each other in Israel and now live and work in Brazil) a bit and give him some literature (thanks, Bobby!!!). Please remember these men in your prayers as well as Heath - an American who was traveling alone and did not speak Portuguese. He flew with us to Fortaleza and we were about to talk with him for a few hours as he waited for his next flight. He didn´t appear to be a believer, but had heard of Messianic Judaism before. He is from Orlando, FL and is dating a Brazilian. We are now trying to get things in order (planning and meeting with workers here) to be able to put into action what the L-rd has asked us to do. We have very limited access to the internet at this point, but we have plenty of videos and pictures we will upload as soon as possible. By the way, IT IS HOT HERE! :o) Pray for us and be blessed!!!

Pray for our trip, safe travels, Hava's behavior and rest, and going through customs and federal police.  We'll update you when we can and also upload more pictures and video!  Be blessed!!!
