OK, the tickets are ordered and paid for. Jack went over and paid with his credit card. He said he would only take 6% off the donations instead of the regular 12%. Mom and Dad, do you need this receipt for your income taxes? Markus said you always had more then you could even use. If you need it, great send it through Janz Team, but if you don't, Jaxck said you shoudl just send the full $2000 to him (as payment towards his credit card). I assume you know what you are doing in all that. Also mom, maybe you should deposit any money that you recieve that does not need to be receipted into our account and we'll just make one payment to Jack with it. The money that needs to go through Janz Team, he'll take the 6% off and then take the rest towards his payment. He's very trusting isn't he!

Right now we have:
2000 Al and Brenda
2000 Dad and Mom
200 Buhlers
300 Dad and Mom for the Christmas money (is this still valid or is it part of the 2000?)
40 Theresa Enns ?
? Our kids
Our income taxz return from last year and child tax benefits (yes we were late again)

Okay, here's our itinerary:
12:00 PM train to Frankfurt
6:15PM Frankfurt to London
10:00PM London to San Paulo
2:25PM San Paulo to Porto arriving at 4:00PM

God has really amazed me in this whole thing. Even though I grumbled to Him about us not being in Brazil He still chose to bless the family to all be together. You know, when the Israelites grumbled, they didn't get to see the promised land! Also, a thought that came to me yesterday was that this is one of the blessings of coming from generations of believers. God is following through on His promises.

Patsy, how much would runners cost in Brazil? How about dental work?

Love, Teresa
