Hi,
The last few days of the mission trip we were both too tired to take time writing on the blog. It was all really good, but all the meetings, and getting up at 8 am and in bed at 2 am made it difficult for us not to rest in the breaks we had

I´ll quickly tell you some of the stories from the last days in Brazil. We went to a youth meeting one night. The youth had a full day at a school gym. They were worshipping, dancing, playing, praying. All the good stuff. We came in the evening and Chase preached to them. After that we all went around and prayed for them and blessed them. They were really really hungry! Many of them got very much touched by the Father. A lot of them ended up on the floor resting in His presence. It was good.
On our way our from that meeting, one of our interpreters, Paula, stopped me. It was only her and I left in there from the team. She had been praying for a man that had told her that his left eye was completely blind! She had me come over to pray for him too, and together we prayed for him. Sanna and Chase came back also and we prayed for him, about a minute or so. Then he opened his eyes again, covered up his right eye, and started reading a poster that was on the wall! Did you get that?! His left eye had been healed and he can see now!!! WOW! That thing right there makes me very very happy. Thank you Jesus for giving him his sight back. Great!

The next night Sanna and I went to preach in two different churches. That´s the first time we´ve gone to separate places to preach at the same time. It went well for both of us, but for us both it was also very different than what we´re used to. I love to preach a more evangelistic message, but that time God had me preach out of Malachi, on giving a good offering. That´s different! They probably expected me to jump around in there and preach up a storm. I asked God about it before I went to the meeting. “Hey God. This is not how Gary has asked us to do this. The church probably expect something completely different too. And I´m not used to preach about this thing.” Do you know what His answer was? “Well, are you going to do what I want you to do?” Oh yes, that´s what I wanted to do. I believe that the message came through well, but I also knew that there were people there who needed healing. So I did what Jesus did, and told them that if they didn´t believe the words that I spoke, at least believe the works that I do, so that you will know that the Father is in me. So I had everybody that needed a healing stand up and I prayed over them. About half of them got healed right there! One man came up and wanted healing for his leg. He was 80 years old! I´m not sure what happened to his leg but I noticed that he had hearing aid in both ears. I asked him to take them out and we prayed for him. He ended up hearing better without the hearing aids, than with them! Praise God. And he was 80 years old! A young boy had come to the meeting with pain in his left elbow. After we prayed, the pain was gone!

The best stories I remember from Sanna´s church was that 17 people got saved, and I two year old girl got baptized in the Holy Spirit and started to pray in tongues! Cool! Her parents came up and gave the testimony. The little girl had suddenly during the meeting, while Sanna was preaching, started to speak in a strange language that the parents didn´t understand. They were both happy

Monday evening the team flew home to the US, but Chase, Sanna and I was left in São Paulo, because we had booked tickets for the next day. By mistake. And it cost $250 to change each ticket. We stayed with Weslei Vianna, a local man that interpreted for us during the trip. He is really cool! A great man of God. He took us around the city, which by the way is extremely big, and also took us to visit his spiritual grandfather, Luiz Schiliró. Luiz has preached the gospel in 56 countries! He has been arrested several times for preaching. He was arrested for practicing medicine without lisence! And that was because he was healing people in Jesus name. So that time he was restricted from laying hands on the sick. Police officers came to the next meeting to make sure that he did as he was told. One of them came over to him and told him that his mother was very sick and asked him if he please could come and lay hands on her and heal her! Hehe, that´s really cool. We prayed for him, and he prayed for us and imparted to us. By the way, he is 90 years old now and he is still preaching. Two sermons on Sunday in a few days.

The car drive to the airport was something I will never forget! If I had videotaped it I could have watched it every Saturday with a bowl of popcorn. It was exhilaration! Weslei drove very fast through the city of São Paulo, and he was on the sidewalk, driving against the direction and darted back and forth. Half of the time he didn´t even know where we were and had to change direction when he saw signs street names that he recognized. And São Paulo is so big that it´s almost impossible to know the whole city! It was really cool though, and he got us to the airport in time. Even though it looked impossible. Sanna preached on having faith, while we were in the car and she kept giving us hope Wonderful woman

Brazil is great! God bless you.
