I finally recieved a call from Matt tonight!! I was so excited to hear his voice...words just can't explain it! He was able to call by using skpe which doesn't cost too much compared to international calls!! I asked him what his high was today and he had not just one thing, but a list!! =) He wanted me to share a few things with you guys that are following his trip...
-Matt and his team met with the govenor of the state of Roiaima, they got meet with him at his home! This was the first thing Matt mentioned, he said it was a really cool experience
-Today was the opening of the trade school they have been building down there for the last few months. This is the very first indigenous trade school in Brazil! He said that is was such a touching moment and that I would have been bawling the entire time =)
-He ate "the best fish of my life". He had some kind of dish that had fish and he also said he had a fish stew and they were both amazing!!
-The fruit! They have so many different fruits than what we have here, he wasn't even able to really compare them to anything here! They were completely different and so yummy!
He had such an eventful day filled with many great moments!! I know he is having such a ball down there! I should be able to hear back from him tomorrow, but Wednesday and Thursday they will be working in remote areas so he most likely won't have a means of reaching us here. I will keep updates coming as I get them!!
And thank you for your thoughts and prayers if you are reading this! Matt and I both appreciate it!!
