Last Day on the Trip

Sorry for no post last night a bunch of us went down to the beach, hung out and talked until late so I didn't get anything posted. All is very well here. We finished our debriefing yesterday and then went to an amazing grill out at the pastor's house. Basically all the steak, sausage, chicken and pork all of us could eat. They cooked until we were full and then threw the bananas on the grill which were fantastic. After that we split up and went to our different churches to preach. Those all went well from what I've gathered. Today we're leaving in about an hour to go to Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf mountain. Our flight leaves tonight, we have a short one to Sau Paulo and then overnight to Dallas then to Omaha Tuesday morning. We have had a blast but are ready to get home to see you all. Thank you for your prayers and support during the last two weeks. I have posted a couple of pictures from here in Rio below. These will probably be the last pics I get posted while we're down here.

The plan for pictures is for your kids to post them to our facebook group page and then we can all grab whatever pictures we want to download much easier. I personally have over 500 pictures and many of the kids have more than I do. Our trip has been well documented.


Most of the guys went rushing into the ocean right away.

The ladies of the trip (minus Liz b/c she was with Joel at the hospital in Rio do Sul)

This is across the street from our hotel...jealous???

  1. Wow...those pictures are breath-taking! I'm expecting to see a 300 pound son from all the food it sounds as if you have been eating...but...did he get taller? Ha Can't wait to see you all tomorrow! Has it gone as fast for you as it has for us? We'll be waiting...safe travels to you all and may the Lord continue to bless this last leg of your adventure.

  3. Fabulous pictures. Brock - you have been such a great scribe for the group. Thank you for all the time you've taken and sleep you've probably lost keeping us posted on the group's activities.
    We can't wait to see you, tomorrow morning. Praying for safe, on-time flights and for your mental transition as you return to Lincoln.

  4. What great photos! Love them. I've spent time in Brazil and now I miss it!

    Miss you all so much.

    Madison, we can't wait until tomorrow morning, when we get to wrap our arms around you. Try to get some rest on the plane. You know we will want to hear everything when you get home.

    Our prayers are for safe travel.

    Whoo-hoo!
