Back to Brazil

The time with family and friends was extremely good. Coming back to Brazil was harder. Leaving Tom was especially difficult. (Bec had already left us, heading up to Birmingham two weeks before our departure.) As ever, some aspects of the reality start to bite, even from the plane, as we see the "periphery" of Guarulhos, on our flight south.

We had adjusted climatically more than we had thought, and our first week back was marked by real problems with the temperature, including pains in the legs and badly swollen ankles and feet.

However, after a few days, and some good meetings with the church, we can see why we are here, and are glad to get on with it again. Please pray for us, as ever! Thank you!
