My last trip

Well it's time. April 29th I'll be going on my last trip here in Brazil. I'll be going going first to my parents place and from there we will leave on the 30th to Sousa.

In Sousa we will be part of something like a congress. All sorts of speakers will have presentations about the reality we face here in the Sertão. It will be a very interesting week and I'm exited to see what this trip will bring. We will be back late afternoon or early evening of May 4th. So my parents and I have the 5th to finish packing and getting ready for our trip to Switzerland on the 6th of May. So as you can see there is still a lot of traveling ahead of me, which I really like.
The last few days here with the Reifler family was good. I didn't have that much to do anymore, which was good. In this way I had the chance to pack my stuff and say goodbye to people here. It was a great year and I'm really glad that I had the chance to serve here in Barão.
Well I think that's it. Maybe I'll blog a last post before I leave to Switzerland, if that's not possible my next post will come from Switzerland.
Please check out my prayer request before you close this site. I thank you so much for all your support.

The last few weeks

Sorry, sorry. I have't blogged for awhile and I'm so sorry about that.
Well, the conference was very good but too it was very tiring. I got asked to lead the kids program during the conference which I ended up doing. I had help from two german interns, which I really appreciated. We just had five kids but we had a lot of fun. (Here some Pictures, us having fun in the pool)


This was the road we took to go to the conference. We drove all of this in one day.

After the conference we had a missions congress in Teresina. For this congress we had speakers from all over Brazil. My task was it to take care of the multimedia during the congress, this would include to take care of the bands and their wishes as well as prepare for each night the powerpoint presentation. Beside that I was also responsible for the presentations of the speakers. I loved what I did and it went mostly well. The congress wasn't that good attended but beside that it was very good. All the messages and the lectures where great. Everybody that wasn't there just missed something.

Well after the congress I got asked to stay for two more days in Teresina to meet with a web designer. The mission PróSERTÃO got to their limits with the website they have now, so they need a new one. But the web designer didn't show up. So I guess that PróSERTÃO has to wait a bit more with their new website.

On April 16th I finally got back to Barão. I'm staying here till April 29th. Then I'll be traveling to an other congress in Souza, PR and from their I'll be traveling to Switzerland. I'll post later something about this congress in Souza.

So, I think you are up to date again. I thank you so much for your interest.
