Fourth of July in Brazil!


We spent our 4th of July listening to USA patriotic music, eating watermelon, burgers, potato salad, homemade ice cream, and hanging out with friends at Joel and Melissa's house ~ this day was also a family reunion sort of day for their family, as most of Joel's family was there to celebrate together. We share the same last name as they...but another Johnson family tree. :)

God has blessed Joel and Melissa with a huge ministry right there at their home ~ they almost always have kids from church over playing on the trampoline, in the pool, or on the newly constructed jungle gym! The 4th was no exception ~ and ElliAnna had such fun playing with everyone! As you can see from the pics, we had a great time.
Thanks for the invitation, Johnsons! :)


Some more Brazilian friends...


The new playground!



Elli never lacked for persons to push her on the swing!



The Dale and Carol Johnson family
ps. Dale and Carol have been ministering in Brazil for over 50 years ~
and God has seen fit to place their children in ministry here as well. What a legacy!
