Brother in Brazil

Last week my little brother, Kirby, was in Brazil for 9 days. It was his first mission's trip and first time in an airplane! He was pretty anxious about the trip! His group encountered plenty of obstacles that Satan threw their way! There was a lot of delayed flights and on one flight their plane actually got struck by lightning! Needless to say we are happy he's home safe!
He told us about the cultural and about some of his experiences in Brazil. Overall he had a great time and grew closer to everyone is his youth group.
He mentioned that no one could pronounce his name very well and called him "Karby"! On the last day he said some younger girls were screaming for him and running after him calling him beautiful and giving him their bracelets right off their arm! So funny how people act differently all around the world! They treated him like a celebrity because they thought he was cute!
He brought us home some Brazilian coffee, candy and little cup and saucer. It's beautiful!
So glad that Kirby was given this opportunity and to share God's love!
