Day out with Samuel

What a BEAUTIFUL DAY!!! Samuel put me on his fathers motorcycle and Thank You Paulo for that! Then he took me to two amazing places... Piety mountain Serra da Piedade, and the mountains that make shapes of faces Serra do Caraça (my personal translation)...


So we drove around 300 Km and faced all kinds of weather and traffic conditions. These mountains are part of Brazil that I have never seen. For so long I have been a home body and refused to go out and do different things. My first brave step was to get back on a motorcycle after around 19 years having had a very nasty accident which left me unable to imagine ever riding again.


The beauty was breath taking, the hights were scary and I actually froze up a bit climbing up to the peak just so I could get my picture taken... So it was a day of firsts...

Beyond the trip itself is the communion that I am having with my brothers here... Samuel have had great moments together in the past, but with Samuel and Leandro, we share time that we can share our problems and pray for each other and have times of devotions and reflection together... They are teaching me to live again!

Thank you Jesus for wonderful friends!
