Hey everyone!!

No we don't have internet yet, but I'm over at the lan house with our computer today 'cause I needed to send some information to Patsy. So anyway, we have a phone now, after only 3 weeks instead of the 4 in Gramado. (Things are picking up) Our number is (47)3374-5076.

We are all settleing in quite well. Jaden has started school and Shannon has started getting more of schedule becasue of that. The girls are playing together more, which is great. They can play outside if someone is watch them. Jasper plays out side by herself sometimes, too. I have started working on Quest stuff again after 3 weeks of being away from the computer and internet. I have joined the evagelical pastors of Jaragua at their monthly meetings (1st Friday every month). This has really helped is kicking off some important relationships for Quest. I will be speaking at one church this Sunday (7:30 pm) about Quest. I will use a power point I made up from translated information Carol did for us. This will help alot because the people can read the information while I speak a little.

Our neighbor, Alzira, has been making a lot of contacts for us since we shared the grander scope of the vision for Quest. She said she didn't realize how big this all really was and got on the blower. I am to have a meeting with the mayor of Schroeder some time soon and we went with a real estate agent to look at a property yesturday. It won't work for us, but he seemed to be a realy good guy and showed us around Schroeder a bit.

Alzira, her son Kleiton, possible Pastor Daniel and us will be going to see another property Sunday. This one sounds pretty good, but we'll see. Many of the ones we've looked at sounded good (that's why we went to see them), but turned out not so great. Keiton found this one for us.

Peter R and Paul L ( from JT Swiss) will be coming to our place next Thurdsy. We will finally get to meet and share God's vision for Quest (Christian camping in Brazil) with them. It will only be a one day meeting so it isn't going to be too long of a visit.

We look forward to hearing from you all. Teresa, I'm glad you can get on now. Thanks for the call last night dad. We really missed being able to communitcate and especially talk for 3 weeks.

This was the veiw out our back window the other night. The front is basically the same. It's hard, you must understand, but we live through it.

Have a great day and get in touch with us.

Love and miss you all,

Dwayne
