Thank you

We just want to thank you for all your support in prayer as well as financial. Thank you for coming out to Camrose for Meatballs for Mission. It was a honor to have you with us this past Sunday. We hope that you keep supporting us. We will try to keep you updated about what we are doing down in Brazil as good as possible.
God bless you

Preparation

It has already been two months since we were all put together as a team. The work is going well and the team is growing closer and closer. We are in our final steps of getting the tourist visas and we are currently trying to learn the portuguese language, so that we can communicate as best as we can with the brazilians. We are also preparing a presentation about Brazil that we will share with our classmates before we leave for our trip.
Another part of our preparations is fundraising. We will be having a fundraiser event called Meatballs for Missions on the 27th of November. It will start at 11am and it goes till 2pm. We want to invite you to join us here at CLBI for that lunch and to get to know our group personally.

Bom dia (Good day)

Hi there
Welcome to our blog. In this blog we are going to post our experience, prayer requests and pictures. We hope that we can upload on a regular bases about our news, because the access to the internet will not be easy all the time. In our teams we have Steven Dahl, Karina Nottveit, Lila Gaertner, Victoria Iverson, Joel Roggensinger.
Here are some words from them.
Joel (Team leader):
I guess the most important things about me right now are: I'm swiss and grew up in Brazil, I love to play soccer and I'm exited to go with my team to Brazil to work together with my parents.
Lila (Treasurer):
I'm so exited for this trip!!!!! I've never been out of Canada and have never been on a plane before, so I can imagine this trip will be one to remember!
Steven (Medical Manager):
I'm mostly pretty chill, like to play lots of guitar and love to hang out and have fun.
The two others of team will post their information in a later post.
