Rio de Janeiro in the Spring

Twenty-four hours of travel with no sleep got me to Brazil this morning and shortly thereafter, a nice nap!  It’s Spring here, the birds are chirping and the next door neighbor has been practicing on his drums for the last twelve hours (today is a holiday).  Rio de Janeiro is a huge city of over ten million people, gorgeous views and lots of life.  As I meet with our missionaries and Brazilian partners please pray that the time will be productive and encouraging.  Great things are afoot!
