Coelho email still not working... but the phone must! :-)
Hi everyone - just some tidbits "as the monkey swings through" (literally one was found outside Coelho's front door when they returned home today). It was a full grown dust pan size monkey, and everyone had their picture taken with it. The monkeys usually do not come through this area until August and then not very many are seen.
Everyone now has a great tan and loved the sand dunes and the beach. Riding in a dune buggy along the beach was a big highlight of their overnight stay at Morro Branco. On the way back to the sitio (Coelho's home and retreat center), they decided to make another trip to the beach outside Fortaleza for more souvenir hunting. An exhausted group was ready to call it a day after that excursion.
Your youth and their sponsors will be leaving for the airport in Fortaleza around 12:30 p.m. Friday. Hopefully they will be able to sleep on the long flight home. Yes, home!! What stories they will have to tell. Can't wait to hear them, myself (Fran).
Shari and Valdez want to thank all of you immensely for allowing your young people to come visit them and their children and see first hand what mission work is like in Northeast Brazil. Keep praying for fruit from the English immersion camp and for the Lord's working in the lives of your youth.
Thanks also for the youth bringing all Valdez's study books, the gifts and clothing sent from friends and family.
Glad to send this to all of you. Fran
