praying for a "pousada"

Last week Jimmy and Chico flew out to the coast and drove from Rio de Janeiro all the way to Vitória, Espírito Santo, almost 1000 kilometers, looking for a "pousada" (inn/hotel) for us to use this coming January for our annual summer training camp.

This week we'll be receiving several suggested contracts from the hotels they visited. Please pray for a miracle. The first offer we received was for R$120,000 ($50,000) and we hoped to pay less than R$40,000 (R$17,000). Pray that we could find something and move forward with the negociation this week.

Latest update: two hotels have already called us back and said there was no way for them to conisder hosting the project. Keep praying!

Today Chico is calling Julia's Pousada (the hotel we stayed in last project). They are under new management and we're not sure what that means. There are still a few remote possibilities beyond Julia's. Pray for God to continue to guide us.

For the last week we've been waiting to hear back from Julia's Pousada. Verbally they had approved our contract but just last Friday they went back on their word and asked for more money.

We have one other option that is willing to host us, but we aren't sure that's where we need to be. Keep praying!
