Translated Portugese to English: "The construction is in full swing !!"
Above are photos of the new church construction current as of 11/29/08.
The young men are some of the youth of the Dr Fabio Church. Note their safety shoes!

DR FABIO IMEL - JFM VISA PRESENTATION 11/30
On Sunday 11/30/08 Dave, Bill A, Bill S and Mary shared about their VISA trip at the 3 services. The group's message wove in well with Pastor Jason's sermon entitled "Worth the Walk". We all agree that we went to Brasil to build a building, but we actually built up a church. And that church built us up. It was definitely "worth the walk".
Stay tuned for a recording of the service.

November 10, 2008 at the Dr Fabio FMC
This is a current photo that was emailed to us from Veruska, the pastor's wife. It shows the construction progress on the church. 
This photo shows the front of the church with the wide front door. The side walls are at full heighth. After the top plate is finished, the roof will be next we think!Monday, November 10, 2008

Rudson's birthday party.
Farewell Service Saturday night. Giovanni seeting up the sound system and testing the mic.
Lourena and Caio.
The welcome sign that greeted us when we arrived in Dr Fabio.
A common sight - horses/mules roaming the streets eating whatever they could find.
The view down main street taken in front of the new church.
Typical scene - kids playing and flying kites.

Saturday 25 October 2008
Today was a rest day. No one was at the work site. I am unable to post any photos because this blog is not allowing it at this time.
Bill and I spent alot of time talking, kidding, and sharing with our host family. We also worked on preparing gifts that we will be giving tomorrow before we leave. All of our notes needed to be interpreted on paper and Rudson spent alot of time on that task.
The girls pampered me with another pedicure and manicure! Later in the afternoon Evaldo and Cida took us for a walk in a beautiful large park downtown. It was quite tropical both in appearance and temperature (100 degrees at 5pm). We saw many small monkeys in the woods and a variety of plants and trees.
The big election for mayor of Cuiaba is tomorrow (Sunday). During our time here there has been considerable campaigning with loud speakers from cars, people waving flags, and fireworks. Each of the candidates has their own theme song and we now know those by heart. It sounds like Mendes #22 (each candidate has a #) may be better for the Dr Fabio community.
Last night Bill shared at the men´s tea and I shared at a women´s tea. It seemed to go pretty well we think, maybe ...
Tonight there was a farewell church service. It was quite touching for all of us. The people that we have met here have been the most amazing people. They have sure been a blessing to us.
Giovanni (Joe Funny) has a message for Dave Parham: He misses you and has not forgotten you. You are living in his heart and you were a blessing to him.
