Boa noite! I hope all is going well back in the States. We are having a great time in Rio. We did get to enjoy fireworks on July 4, but not in the way you would expect. Part of our day on Wednesday was going to a soccer game. This was a soccer game in a part of Rio where tourists normally don't go. We were able to see real Brazilian soccer and even made friends with some of the locals. Matthew got to help play the drum and wave the big flag. VASCÃO! (The name of the team we cheered for, since they were the home team and Dan and Kirsty's team.)
On a different note, today has been filled with hard work. Many of the rooms have been painted, storage areas have been reorganized, the puppet stage is much further along, and more. It has been great to serve the church here in Rio. They are doing a great work!
The next couple of days will be filled with opportunities to serve the people here. Tomorrow we visit an orphanage and Saturday is the big English Day. Please pray for these two activities.
A huge thank you to everyone who has been praying for us and all of you who have supported our trip financially. Your prayers and help are helping us be a big source of encouragement for the church here. Kirsty shared last night how much it means to the missionaries and the members here to have visitors travel thousands of miles to work alongside them. You are a part of that effort!
Well, time for our bi-lingual service. This was one of the highlights of last year's trip. Tchau!
brilho!

Hi everyone!
Today has been a work day at the church building. Depending on what floor you are on, you hear the sound of saws, hammers, laughter and the splatter of paint rolling on to the walls.
Wish you could be here to share in this wonderful time of serving and fellowship.
Blessings,

Hi all,
We have really enjoyed meeting the people here and they have been great to welcome us. Our work days are long and very rewarding and we have enjoyed seeing the sites in Rio. This is an experience of a lifetime and we are grateful for the opportunity God has given us to be here.
Blessings,
The Osborns

Greetings!
Today has been another good day for our team in Rio! We worked hard today and tonight, after worship, we will play hard. Our team plus a few missionaries have challenged the Victory church to a game of soccer. If we lose, no, when we lose we will then challenge them to a game of basketball. Wish us luck!
Thanks to all of you who are praying for us and to all of you who have financially supported this trip. It truly is a blessing to walk with, work with, and worship with our brothers and sisters in Rio! It is also a true blessing to see Dan and Kirsty at work! God is most definitely using them in powerful ways!
Love and God Bless,
Danny Cagnet
