It's been a looong couple days of flying! OC to LA to DC to Sao Paulo to Brasilia to Belem to Santarem and finally to Altamira. 7 flights, 3 layovers, a lot of running through airports, not a lot of sleeping, 2 missing suitcases, and we made it! Tonight we're sleeping in the Xingu Mission guest house which is actually quite modern with showers, internet, and really nice people that fed us delicious Brazilian pizza. In the morning, it's off to buy some supplies and clothes (since United left our suitcases somewhere between LA and Soa Paulo). We leave immediately after shopping for a 10 hour boat ride up the Amazon river. We'll be staying the night on the boat in Porto de Moz then we'll head across the Xingu River to the Aqui qui river which we'll be on for two hours to the Jaraucu for another 8 hours to the river Una. We'll sleep in the boat on the Una and visit several villages in that region installing water filters the next day. We'll be fishing for our food each night and taking our baths in the river hoping to avoid the piranhas. They say that they won't attack as long as you're not bleeding anywhere :) Keep us in prayer! I'll post again when I get back to Altamira if the internet is up! God bless and someone go eat some In-n-Out Burger for me!
