We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with friends and family. We definitely did! As you read on our last post, we enjoyed a very different Christmas season that involved a very fast tour around parts of south Brazil to visit some of Jeyson's relatives. I (Stephanie) have never really enjoyed long car rides, but it actually turned out to be a lot of fun! Each time we stopped I was able to meet more relatives, try new foods, and see new parts of this huge country we live in. One of the best parts was also being able to cross over to Argentina and Paraguay, since we stayed with relatives who live only about 2 hours away from the borders.
We made it back to Anapolis on Dec 22nd and on the 24th we drove over to Goiania to spend Christmas eve and Christmas with Jeyson's parents, sister, and brother-in-law. Here in Brazil, the big Christmas meal is actually served Christmas eve evening, traditionally at midnight! On Christmas eve we all went over to the YWAM base where Mario Jr and Lika live and enjoyed a wonderful meal with many young missionaries who were not able to travel home to be with their families. Christmas day the Braun family enjoyed a meal together at Jonas and Iria's home. In the evening we went to hear a beautiful cantata that Iria was part of at her church.
And if all of that wasn't wonderful enough, we also got to celebrate Christmas virtually with the Ciotta family using Skype. All of my immediate family met online from different states and we had a great time on an internet conference call.
Now that Christmas is over, I was so excited to come online and show you pictures of our trip and Christmas. Sadly though, we accidentally left our camera's cable in Goiania so we can't get the pictures over to our computer. Stay tuned though, and we will post pictures as soon as we go back to Goiania to visit.
