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

Pampering the girls of Vila Rosa!

These pics needed to be posted a while ago, but while the Arcade Church team was here a few of us went over to one of the favelas, Vila Rosa, to pamper some of the girls! One of the ladies from Arcade, Sharron, is a hairdresser back at home so she had brought tons of combs and mini rubber bands, so the girls got braids (her plan was hair cuts, but they just wanted braids). 
I had the pleasure of giving manicures! 
Filing, Lotion and Paint! (: 
It was a blessing to bless them with some easy pampering (: 



Big Sis and Little Brother hand massages





He came with his big sister... The one in the above pic that I was giving a hand massage to (: 



BEAUTIFUL!


We served around 25-30 girls total within that couple of hours, some getting just nails, some getting only braids, and some getting both!

Courtney! 








We had one young gay man come over and ask to have his hair braided... William couldn't resist getting in there with him... as he left, he says to William, "You are an Angel! My husband will love this!"
(Sharing God's Love for ANYONE Around.) Amen. 



Not sure if she was happy or scared, or if the wind was just bugging her... haha 





Thanks Michael for stealing my iPhone to snap some pictures for me!!!
