So we have now met twice for meetings, we have began raising funds and are slowing working towards growing together as a team. A team of Disciples. Heidi and Brent have been working on the dates for our trip, trying to find the best deal on the travel accomodations. The current dates have been updated on the 'Important Dates' page.
We have also begun learning some helpful phrases to begin communicating with our friends in Brasil.
- Bom Dia! --Pronounced Bohn Gee-ah is Good Morning!
- Tudu Bem? --Pronounced Too-doo Bane is How are you?
- Obrigado/a --Pronounced Oh-bree-gah-doo is Thank you
- Tchau! --Pronounced Chow! is Good Bye!
Be sure to use your new Portuguese whenever possible, it will be very helpful when we are trying to talk with the people we meet in Brasil.
As we wrapped up the meeting we began to meet some of our Teammates and learn some interesting facts about each other. We will finish those at the next meeting so be sure to bring them in your new binders!
Dont forget to work on raising funds and getting your Passports. There are links on the right that will take you to the Passport website for information, as well as a link to Rachel's Email to check your balance if you want to know how much you have in your account. If you don't use a dedicated Mail Program, e.g. Outlook, you will need to right-click on 'Email Rachel Now' and paste it into your 'To Address.'
Servant Saturday is coming up, Hope to see you there!
