BRAZIL AND INDIANA, HERE WE GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get ready!!!!!!!!!!!

This orange is OK but I'd rather try this little green thing on the floor...

What was that noise?

How did they find me here?

Mom, I'm just helping you organize the closet!!

I love my bath!!

And I love my food!!

Is there something wrong with my face??
Yes, we are getting ready to go visit both of our families!! PRAISE THE LORD!!

We are so excited that it's hard to describe! It's been over two years since we've been to Brazil and Julia and I have never been to Indiana. We are looking forward to the time we will spend among family and friends. We are heading down to Brazil on the 19th of November and will be in Guarulhos after 26h. Then we have a 4 hours drive from the airport to my parents' house. They will be waiting for us at the airport, praise God!

We will stay one month in Brazil and we will fly to Indiana on the 19th of December to spend Christmas, New Year and Matthew's birthday with his family. And then, back to Kona on the 3rd of January for a new job!! Praise God for that either!!

It will be summer in Brazil and it will probably be snowing and freezing cold in Indiana. Please, pray for our trips as well as for health during all these transitions. You know, Julia and I are "Brazilians"... we don't know what "snow" means, hehehe!!

We are going through and interesting time right now... Matthew was laid off his job this past Monday as soon as he came back from a week of vacations. We were not expecting that and truthfully, we are still a little bit in shock. But we DO TRUST God and we know He is in control, even when we completely loose it! We are not sure what we will do during this month that we have ahead of us, before we go to Brazil, in terms of job. So, please, pray with us for wisdom and direction from God!

God is so faithful that He has already been providing for us so we believe we will be able to pay our rent and all our basic expenses until the new job comes in January. If you do pray for us; please, pray for our finances too because we don't want to go into debt during those 3 months.

I've uploaded some very recent pics of Julia. She is doing great! She is becoming a social butterfly. She waves and smiles at everybody now and if anybody smiles back she wants to play peek-a-boo wherever she is. She is a wonderful, peaceful baby. A true gift from God!

Thank you Lord, for all of your blessings in our lives and for your love and faithfulness!

We are looking forward to seeing our families and friends during this trip!!

Blessings to all of you!
