Boa Tarde-
I can't believe it's been two years since Sue and I were in Brazil. I am thrilled for the opportunity to return and very eager to see all of our dear friends. This year, our friend Ann is joining us. Ann traveled to Brazil some time ago, and I am so glad she's coming back with us!
The suitcase is (almost) packed, the music is (almost) organized, and my camera battery is charging!
This year's theme is Prepare the Way of the Lord! Before Sue and I left for home in 2012, I picked the theme based on my fabulous experience of MD-ing Godspell. No one will be dressed as clowns for our final concert in Remanso, but I hope we can sing the song! The idea behind this theme is to explore how music leads us to prayer. How it inspires us and perhaps sustains our prayer life. Thank goodness we have our friend and translator, Ana Paula, with us again! There's no way I could hold conversations in class on my own! I do hope the music we teach and sing, sacred and secular, chant and modern alike, will inspire prayer in this community.
Return visitors to our Brazil blog will remember both Sue and I posted independently each day. I also made sure to post pictures so everyone at home can see some of the faces and places we mention in the blog. You can look forward to all that and more, as I hope to be able to post some videos. No promises, but technology's come a long way in 48 months!
Thanks again for all of your support as we make our way back to Remanso.
Muito Amor,
Jamie
