CEB - the mission center

These are several shots of the mission center. Chuck is going from language classroom behind the main building, into and through the offices and outside to our car. This building was actually a house for mission families for years, and then converted into the language school/ mission offices.

Web Cam Shots

This is actually a web cam shot of Hope when we were still in Little Rock, AR awaiting our visas to come to Brazil, I jsut thought it was really cute. Allison was showing her how we were going to use the web cam on the computer to talk to family and friends back in the United States once we were in Brazil.

This is a shot Allison took, last night while talking on SKYPE to MawMaw (Chuck's mom).

Language School

We have Portugues Language classes M-F at the mission center. Right now there are only 3 of us in class. Allison, Chuck, and Jim Whitley - another IMB missionary that will be working here in Campinas. We'll eventually move to another school in a few weeks where we'll be for the rest of our language learning this year.

This is Priscila, one of our teachers. She's great!

This is a view from the upstairs missionary apartment above the langage class room. Great view of the city don't you think?

Car sizes

Small cars. Very small cars. When we first came here, we were amazed at how small the cars were. One day we say a small Hyaundi SVU type car and it looked monsterous comparitely speaking. Many of the cars are this small.


This is the mission's VW Combi van that we'll use to move some of the mission furniture out of our house and into storage at the mission office when our crate arrives with all our stuff from home!

Crate Training

Well, we stared off crate training the puppy Elvis. But Abby seems to have taken over the position and Elvis has outgrown her crate.

Packages from home

Thanks for the care packages from home! Abigail is seen here modeling the Easter Jewlrey that Grand sent. Currently, we've found that it takes about 3 weeks for a small shoe box size package to arrive here.
