Less Sleep, More Jesus

Where to begin? 
We started traveling at 7am Monday Detroit time and finally arrived at the hotel in Barra da Tijuca, Brazil about 2pm Rio time.  Rio time is 2 hours ahead of home.  So as I write this at 6:30am Rio time... it's only 4:30am back home. 

We took planes,  cars,  escalators, elevators, and buses,  and walked miles to get here.  But... just from the first night 🌙 
IT HAS BEEN WORTH IT ALL! 
(From Chicago, we only had our backpacks, because there was no room for our carry-on. Nerves were high that our clothes would even make it after horror stories from others. )

Yesterday we ate lunch at the beach ⛱️ 
White, white sand and the water was so warm.  It jumped up and smacked us 🤣 There is a whole story there!  And just to note, the Brazilians can make a mean smash burger. (First day,  playing it safe with the food!) (All the bags made it to Brazil!)

During lunch, we saw an lizard 🦎 😳 and a wooly black and white catapiller fell from the ceiling on to Allie. ($26 here converts to about $7.50 USD)
Please enjoy the pictures and keep the prayers coming. 

Specific requests...pray for my ears.  The first plane ride was terrible and the pressure was unlike any decent before. My ears hurt so much! (And still are quite painful.) Tips and tricks please comment! 

Ministry,  last night we received impartion from the speakers. Mine... that I will deliver unmeasureable joy, love, and healing to the Brazilian people. That miracles will wildly flow. (Followed by hysterical laughter. Randy Clark fanned that flame 🔥 with 4 claps on my hands.)

Allie was given a special call, too!

We love you all.  Your prayers are seeing us through.  🙏 More to come!

It has been days and actually more than a month since we have returned from Brazil. Daily I am met with thoughts and wonders about all that took place in Brazil. I have gone back to read what I wrote previously. I assure you, I am fluent in English (well, country school in the middle of Pennsylvania fluent) and typically am well-written, and even someday, I would be honored to add the accomplishment of an author to my list of credentials. However, those previous moments were pure, and although written in English they were Spirit-filled! So let's carry on... Day 1 - blasting of the crowd and healing of the children I gave a synopsis of the one child with the club feet...but I prayed for two other children before that specific one. Both had marked signs of improvement and were overcome with peace. One of the mothers mentioned that she had never seen her son so calm with a stranger touching him (I asked for permission.) The peace of the Lord filled that building.  I don't want to ...

Y'all... If you know me and I am starting any story with "y'all" you know that Jesus showed up BIG! For some of this...I don't even have appropriate words,  however I will try!  We started with a morning of rest,  but the sunrises 🌅 before 5am (3am Detroit time.) I was up before 6am! Breakfast is a beautiful buffet 😋 Eggs, fruit, meats, and breads (sweet and not.) And every meal has rice and beans.  We had some down time before heading to the Brazilian steak house for lunch...more rice and beans 🫘 and all the meat 🍖 you could dream of! 😋  Then we took a long bus ride in traffic to the convention center. Every day is an adventure and yesterday the bus took down some phone or power lines. These bus drivers are amazing! Literally, taking large tour busses onto single lane roads or through traffic where we could touch the car next to us and there are motorcycles 🏍 zooming in between!  We arrived at the conve...
