God is always, always in control! He allowed us the last two days, to rest, clean, organize and most importantly pray. God opened the doors for a small group of people to fast for a twenty-four hour period, praying diligently for this country that we have come to love and adore.
During this time at home, during the crew-few hours, we have sat and talked about religion, God, Jesus, family, friends, governments, Obama and Hillary. :) It has been a growing experience for us as a family and I thank my God for that. However, I am also heavy hearted b/c people are still fighting, people are still hurting and people are still starving.
If you sit back and think for a minute, you start to wonder who is really getting the "worst deal" out of all of this. Its the little naked man that you see walking the streets everyday, huffing glue to kill the hunger pains and just escape life. It's the little boy, born at 5 month 3 weeks, because his mother was dying of "Swine Flu." The people most effected by all of this is the exact people that God has called me here to serve! "The dying, the cripple, the mental, the unwanted, the unloved-- they are Jesus in disguise." - Mother Teresa
God is faithful! Here are some pictures that I took, over the last few days :)
Police lined up in front of burger king, right in front of the grocery store Mas por Manos (the grocery store I normally shop at ) Mel, (the former president),is literally a block away in the Brazilian embassy.
Reminds me of people preparing for hurricanes in Florida!!! People waiting for gas!
There is graffiti everywhere!
more police outside the grocery store

It's like a nightmare. I think that with the timing of this it's pretty obvious that God and the boys needed you there.
