Happy Mothers Day!!!!

I hope all of the mothers are having a relaxing day. While looking for a card for my mom, I found one that was talking about without mothers, kids would eat dirt, read in terrible light, never take a shower and eat junk food day in and day out. I'm extremely thankful for my mom!

Last week the FOCUS team met to review and make final preparations for our departure. This was our last formal meeting. Next week Sunday, May 21, we will spend both services explaining our mission and sharing some of what we plan to do.

Ms Aggie gave us so tips about our travels.

1) Bring many, many shirts. They will get dirty fast and we can leave clothes in Brazil if we want to.
2) For girls, have a 1 piece swim suit or a tankini. Boys...no speedos or jammers
3) When packing, roll up your shirts and put them around your suit case as padding.
4) Bring sunblock, insect repellent and pocket size tissues. You can also bring a roll of toilet paper because we will be at different places that might not have it.
5) Bring wet wipes (or baby wipes) to wash off your feet before you get into bed. Your feet will get dirty fast!
6) When we are being tourists as a group, wear bright colored clothing so that you can be easily spotted.
5) You are allowed 2 suit cases, 50 lbs each, one carry-on and one personal bag.
