This last week, Charlotte and I were able to take the entire family on an exploration adventure. This was a combination research/family break time for us. While I was able to investigate possible future work in the interior, I was also able to spend time with the family for the week.

Swimming in an "igarape" or creek in the interior.

Of course with children, swimming is a wonderful pastime. It is also a way to cool off since we have no working air conditioner in our van. The water in the creeks is usually ice cold. This was no exception.

While we had a wonderful time on this trip, we also accomplished a great deal of work. I was able to schedule meetings with various pastors and city officials in the area that we were researching. Please pray for the unreached people groups of Northern Brazil. There are thousands of communities that have no evangelical presence. Most of these communities are difficult to access and many times difficult to find. Some are deep in the interior with little or no road access, others are hidden within the thousands of islands that make up the river system here in Pará.
