We're Here!!

We made it! After 24 hrs. of travel, everything went so smoothly, i couldn't believe it! no delays, no hassles, luggage arrived  as soon as we got to baggage claim - Amazing! And what a warm welcome from all. Good to see Fr. Joe and all the wonderful people in Remanso, who greeted us with big smiles, warm hugs and kisses and a delicious meal, as well as our sign that we can see from our doorstep! Now don't we feel special! And to top it off, Ana Paula, our liason and interpreter, christened her 2nd born the day of our arrival and her party was in full swing when we arrived but stopped to introduce us and sing their welcoming song in Portugese.  What a warm welcome, so good to be here, I feel very blessed to be apart of this and am hoping for much success with the children in the next 2 weeks! Ciao for now.
