to rio we will go

We leave for Rio in the next hour or so. Hopefully with no surprises at the airport. We have to travel to the consulate in order to apply for a passport for Simon. If all goes well, we'll fly back tomorrow. Our friends Jon and Tathi are coming over to stay with Lucy and Braden.

Last night we had a meeting with our children's ministry workers. Amy and I plan on traveling to the States next month, so we met last night to put everything in order for the time we are gone (more on that later). We've been so encouraged about the growth of our children's ministry at church. The number of volunteers is going up and people are finding the best fit for them.
