The day of our trip has finally come! We can't believe it. The last few days have been filled with lots of reminders of how gracious God has been to us through all of this. God has really provided in every way, big and small, not only for this trip, but in all of our circumstances that have led us here. The best part is that we are IN NO WAY deserving of the grace we have been given. That being said, we are so excited to see what God is going to teach us during the next few months and how he might use us.
I've decided not to post our entire itinerary because its just too long. Tomorrow morning we will arrive in Rio and take a bus to Paraty, a small town on the beach south of Rio. We will be there the 22nd-25th, then in Sao Paulo from 26th-28th. After that will will head over to Iguazu Falls for a couple of days and then into Paraguay.

Here we are as we are getting ready to walk out the door. This will be the last post from the good ol' USA. Ciau!
