Welcome to my Brazil Adventures blog!!!



Here is where new stories, pictures, prayer requests, adventure updates, and reflections will be posted throughout my trip and most likely even after. I invite you to share this amazing opportunity with me (even from a distance) as this mission would not be possible without the prayers, love and support from each of you!

In Him,
Lacey

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

Just a week away....

Between finals, work, packing, moving, cleaning, housesitting, working through a medical hiccup, saying "see ya laters" and finally booking my airfare, this last week has been exhausting. And its not even over yet....
I have to say though, I gotta give a shout out to Jade Berry-Cabio for being a phenomenal packer, to Aaron Mock for having a sweet truck and a few minutes to help get my big stuff moved to my next house, and to Christy Baggett for being willing to come in the heat of the day to take two carloads (and two trips, so 4 carloads of stuff total) over. I would be an even hotter hot mess if I hadn't been blessed with their help! 



Though Jade was able to get the mass majority into my two suitcases (the stuff above is just the clothes that I needed in...) I still need someone to help me itemize everything that I am trying to fit  because I still have a carload of stuff trying to go... Any takers up in the Portland area???? (:


It still hasn't sunk in that I am actually going back. It's kind of like an out of body experience, like this cannot be real. The process has gone so quickly, it was just in January that I was considering the idea of going back for the summer or fall, and then just February that I started the application process. And here I am, car loaded with bags, plane ticket booked, and mind boggled with emotions. 


I fly out of PDX next Sunday morning, and will land at GRU (Sao Paulo, Brasil airport)
on Monday morning.
Won't be flying back out until September 24th, landing back at PDX on the 25th! 

Prayer for discernment on what to pack would be wonderful. As well as a relaxing time to visit with my family and friends up in Portland this next week and safe travels next week. I have never flown alone, and to be honest I am more worried about not getting lost or kicked out for doing something wrong than I am about actually living in Brazil! 


One week away. One quick week away.
And I am soooo excited!!!!

    I am leaving a comment. It says that you don't have any comments. Well after I hit the publish button, that will no longer be the case. At least I hope that is how it works. Or else this is a messed up system. I am not sure if I am leaving a comment on a current post or an old one. I couldn't find a comment button until I got to the bottom of the page. I feel like this comment is full of short choppy sentences. We miss you at Dixon. Things seem kind of odd with a sparse amount of our crew working. I am leaving in a few minutes to go to a conference in San Diego so hopefully I'll be a wiser, more mature individual by the time you return. I am going to send this off now. You are doing well.
