Ok here's a long overdue update.
Sorry it has taken me so long. Things got super busy when I got back to GA. I started working a summer camp at a YMCA and still have 2 more weeks left.
Things with Brazil have changed a lot(like always) but God is in control. I'm going back to Brazil in October and staying until the end of November. The missionary family who I was living with is moving back to the states and possibly relocating to another country at some point. When I go back to Brazil, I am going to go stay a few weeks with my Brazilian friend Rafa's family, and then my parents are coming to visit for the last two weeks! I am so excited that they will get to visit. I have always wanted them to get to go to Brazil because it has always been so close to my heart since I went there in 2007. I am also really excited about getting the opportunity to live with a Brazilian family for 3 weeks. I spent a lot of time with them before, but this will be an even deeper learning experience.
So, that's the update for now. I know God has a plan and a reason for why things have changed with Brazil many, many times. I really appreciate all the prayers as I have been trying to discern what it is that God wants me to do.
