The big 2-4, one year mark and São Paulo: Tonight I will be leaving for a week trip to São Paulo. I will be celebrating my 24th (yikes) birthday tomorrow the 26th and Saturday the 29th will mark 1 year here in Brazil. It is hard to believe it has been 1 year already. Thank you so much to all of you for your prayers and support! It means so much to me and to the Kingdom of God! Please be praying for my trip to São Paulo. I am really excited about this trip! It is winter in São Paulo so it will be a relief from the extreme heat we are experiencing in Santarém. Also, they have McDonalds!!!
Next update will be pictures from São Paulo!
