Travel Time

We leave today for the United States. It`s been fun working up to this day. We've heard the joys of things to come.....

Waiters on the plane (Anderson)
Doughnuts every day with Grandparents (Carys and Anderson)

....and we've dealt with doubts.....well, kind of......

"Bronwyn, what happens if I get diarrhea on the plane?" (Carys)
"That would be too bad."(Bronwyn)

We've also found some interesting things as we got into our big bags that haven't been used since our last trip to the states. Just now I found 3 suction cups and one suppository that had been in a bag for over two years. As Anderson might say......interesting.

We've had sick kids over the last couple of days but enough people have prayed for us to have the kids feeling much better.

We would appreciate your prayers for our safety.

And if you happen to be in Memphis,Huntsville,Nashville,Dallas,Abilene,Chicago,Oklahoma City,Arkansas,Washington DC, Mississippi or Florida......look us up. We'd love to see you.

Hi Blumes! My name is David Elam. I sent you guys a message a while back. I used to live Belo Horizonte and now do short term missions to Brazil. I'm the guy who met Ansley at the airport in Rio last summer before her trip to summer camp in the States. Anyway, just wanted to let you know that I'm in Dallas and would love to get to meet you and chat with you whenever you pass through! Sounds like you guys have quite a few treks ahead of you! =) We have a church body in South Dallas that meets on Sunday mornings. We'd love to have you guys come and visit, if you're available. I would be interested to hear more about the house church movement in Brazil.

My cell is 972-762-6301. Feel free to call anytime!

Blessings,
David Elam
