Chuck's Trip to Ouro Preto






In September, Chuck went to Ouro Preto (Black Gold). Chuck went to see how fellow IMB missionary, David Bledsoe, handled mission teams from the States. His mom also came down on that mission trip and then stayed a bit longer with us afterward. Here are some pics from that trip...

Ferry Boat Rides

We live on the island of Guaruja. We often travel over to Santos or Bertioga and take the Ferry Boat! The girls always want to get out and see the water. This day, since MawMaw was visiting, so we took pictures and here they are..


My little Portuguese speakers

I can't always get the girls to speak Portuguese on "cue" when we talk to the family back in the USA on SKYPE, but this day, they were willing.

(I'm asking Hope to tell me what she is doing. She's telling me she is painting. Then I ask her what colors she wants and she tells me white and red - more or less - I'm still learning too and in fact, they will often correct my pronunciation or vocabulary - go figure!)

Listen...



Isabela Grace said Mama 1st, then Dadda, Hope, and Abigail. Next came "aqua" then "obrigada" (thank you). She likes coffee, staying up late, and Bossa Nova music and naps! She is definitely our little Brazilian baby!
