It is time to start planning.

Thankfully, Sao Paulo is not as cold during their winter as it is here in Arkansas. However, it can still get cold. Last year we were very blessed. I was told it rained hard the entire week before we arrived and it remained warm and sunny while we were there. The day after we left, it started raining again.
We need to start thinking not only about the weather but also prepare now about some decisions we will be facing there, including how we dress. We are going from our summer to their winter. Make sure you pack accordingly. If you have any questions, please contact me.

In addition, while we are there we need to drink ONLY bottled water or water from a trusted filtering system. Avoid ordering food from street vendors, also. We don’t know how well they cook their stuff or their hygienic practices. The hot water in most homes in Sao Paulo comes only from the shower and not the sinks. This is only one cultural difference that can hurt you. They are accustomed to them but we are not.
And it is definitely recommended to be vaccinated against hepatitis, not only for Brazil but here, also.

Prayer request: that God prepares our hearts, minds, and bodies for this trip. Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. Don`t take yourself out of the game by not preparing correctly. Of course, it all starts with prayer.
