Brazil 2011 Days 4 from Brent's perspective

On day 4 we made the 3 hour drive to Aguas de Lindoia for the conference of the Association of Biblical Counselors of Brazil.  Now for Brent's perspective ...

Today we spent traveling inward to a mountain city known for its mineral springs. I don't know if we will have a chance to check out those springs or not.  The drive to the mountains was really beautiful.  Eucalyptus trees covered the rolling green hills as we twisted our way upward through the many curvy roads.   Our team enjoyed good fellowship along the way.

We are staying at this hotel.  I believe this link shows you where we are in Brazil:

Tonight the conference started.  We have met up with FBC missionaries, Randy Richner and Bill Moore.  Dan Wickert spoke on counseling individuals with medical diagnoses.  Steve spoke on Developing a counseling center in your local church and helping your church develop a heart for counseling. I speak tomorrow on the heart to all 250 people here.
It seems as if fewer people have any knowledge of English the further we get a way from the big city.

I have not been exposed to any weird foods today.  Had some great fish at lunch and a lot a good fresh fruit throughout the day.  That's about it for today.  Heading off to bed.  ... Brent
