This is what it's all about - getting together with friends...
Making new ones...

Telling our stories, sharing our vision...

Reporting back to those who have been partners with us....

We're loving it! We've been staying in an apartment above my grandma's house and almost every day we drive an hour in a different direction to share with friends. It's been a little tiring but we feel so excited about what we do that we're so enthusiastic about sharing our story every chance we get. Here's Jeyson doing a little yard work at Grammy's house.

It's hard to believe our time in NJ is coming to a close in 1 1/2 weeks! We'll be going from here to the Chicago area, to Los Angelos, to Phoenix, and back to NJ for 5 days just to catch our flights home to Brazil. So...that means doing the majority of our packing up now since we'll be back here to pack up just for a few days. Packing to bring what you need for a whole term in Brazil is quite different than packing for a vacation. We're bringing a lot of strange things you wouldn't bring for a short term missions trip or vacation...including some things my parents left for us when they moved to Arizona - a sewing machine and printer/scanner. Jeyson's also bringing quite an interesting collection of tools for his mechanic work and I can't wait to get my birthday pots/pans and my new crock pot to Brazil. We will be going on 3 different flights so Jeyson is always very careful in packing our more fragile stuff....here's some pans getting ready to go in a bag (complete with shirts packed in between so they don't dent by banging together!!)

You should see the rest of the bags...it's pretty crazy! :)
