Dear friends,
I am now at the Edinburgh airport waiting for the start of my journey to Rwanda -- I should arrive there Saturday afternoon.

My time in Edinburgh with Katie Brousseau went very well. I was able to share some community engagement ideas with the Almond Vineyard church leaders and a message on Sunday morning about the Father's Heart for the Poor.

Imagine my surprise when Pr. Celso Taveres from Belo Horizonte was in the service!

Updates on this year's trip to Brazil will appear on this site over the next month.

There may be some limitations to Internet access in Brazil but it will be as upto date as possible.

I leave Thursday June 19th at night and arrive in Belo Horizonte for the first leg of the trip on Friday June 20th.

All the arrangements are made and the maple syrup is packed (along with the chocolate chips).

More soon.
-- Beth
