Sorry that it has taken me so long!

Hi everyone!

Sorry that it has taken me so long to get one of these up on here!

Just a quick post to say that We all arrived safley (nearly two weeks ago now), all our luggage got here safley as well! Since then we have had a few portuguese lessons, and have visited both the PEPE´s that we will be working in, although we haven´t actually started working in them yet, and won´t do until the 8th Nov as we have a PEPE conference next week! We have been to the beach 3 times so far, becuase it is important to see the culture ... or maybe just because it´s too hot not to take a quick dip in the sea!

The team are all getting along really well! And all is fine! Although we are having to spend alot of time seperated as we are living with two seperate families, and we will be working in two pairs (although they have not been decided as of yet). We are looking forward to getting into the swing of things properly in the coming 2 weeks! Please remeber us in your prayers, especially with the difficulty of being seperate for chunks of the day!

I hope this finds you all well, where ever you may be around the world!

Ben .. is in Brazil!

I hear it's 5 days time?

Hi everyone!

I am sorry that i haven't posted anything on here for the last few weeks, but i have been so busy with training that i haven't managed to log on! The last part of the training was fantastic, we did things such as visited a mosk, and went street evangelising! Many more things as well! As well as that we have been to our training churches one last time and have done a few more bits within the service, and have set up links with them. As well as having lectures, we have had some free time... which has mostly been spent playing football, or Frisbee out in the brilliant sunshine of Birmingham! We had an absolutely  fantastic time there at the IMC and can't wait to be back in 6 months time!

Now we have a few days left at home before we go off to our separate countries. The first team will leave on Friday, and then a team leaves every day until Tuesday.

My team will be leaving on Monday evening, and we shall be flying out at about 7.30pm and we should actually get to Sao Luis at about 10am on Tuesday.

I hope this find you all well! if you have any further questions please email me!
or see the BMS website www.bmsworldmission.org

My team's prayer letters will also be posted on there at http://www.bmsworldmission.org/Profile.aspx?id=7204

God Bless
