Adventures of Summer '08 Part 1- Rio De Janeiro, Brazil

Wow, its been a while since I've updated! Well, I will begin back with the adventures of my summer! After the week in Goiania, we met back up with the boys in Rio De Janeiro.

In Rio, we got to visit "Ciudad De Deus" (City of God). This is one of the most dangerous places in Rio, but with God's protection we were safe. We got to play with the kids at one of the local schools as well as share the Gospel to them :)

After going to the City of God, we visited Villa De Conquista- one of the poorest places I have ever seen. The most amazing part was that the people living there still had smiles on their faces! We played soccer with the kids and shared the Gospel

One of the coolest things we got to do while in Rio, was that we go to attend a professional soccer game! The place was packed and the game was awesome!

We also go to go to the Christ statue that over looked the city of Rio De Janeiro! It was such an amazing statue as well as view!

These were just a few amazing experiences that I had while in Brazil! I think that part of my heart is still left in Brazil and I hope that some day I will be able to return. Going to Brazil was definitely a life changing experience that I hope to never forget :)
