February is the month in Brazil where people worship the Goddess of the sea, Iemanja. Travis decided to take Mikaela to see the festival and to see what people do. It was a great opportunity for Mikaela to see what type of people we work with in this city and the types of religions that we have to deal with as we bring people to Christ. Unfortunately during this trip, Travis' wallet was stolen as he passed through the crowds. So we ended up spending a bit of cash to replace lost cards, ID's and just money that was inside. Just another eye opening experience that Mikaela got to see while she was here and a reminder for us to be careful of what we take with us and where. It is sad to think that people are out there who like to steal but those are the people that we need to continue to reach out to; to show them God's love so that one day they will see that they do not need to resort to stealing. Please pray for people like this in our city and that God can show them the way, through us or other people that influence their lives.
