Four New Short Term Missionaries in Brazil

IMG_0241

Four new Short Term Missionary Assistants have left and arrived in Brazil.  They are Nathan Olson, Jon Nelson, Bethany Marschner and Amanda Aldrich.  The left on Wednesday.  They just confirmed their safe arrival in the message below.

 

Hey everybody!
We all (Nathan, Jon, Bethany, Amanda) have made it safely to Brazil and are enjoying good fellowship with the Abels! The Lord provided a great connection through Chicago from Minneapolis to Sao Paulo and we made it all the way to Curitiba with only the minor hiccup of losing one of Jon’s pieces of luggage (which will be delivered soon).
Please continue to keep us in prayer as Jon and I got 1 ½ hours of sleep on the overnight flight and are jumping right in to work alongside the Abels! We also are realizing that our language practice has paid off, but that we are far from fluent...please keep us in prayer that we would continue to grow in language acquisition!
Only Jesus, Nathan Olson & Jonathan Nelson
