Here' a pic of the car we bought for all those who haven't yet seen it. We got a good price for it and after a few minor repairs it is running good and we are so happy to have some freedom. Thanks again to all helped with our car project!!!Our first stop on our trip to Pelotas was with our friends Pipa and Jordana who are getting married March 10th. Jasper is going to be their flower girl. Very exciting!! We stayed at their friend's beach house. A bunch of friends came for Jordana's birthday and enjoyed a pool party!
On our trip to Pelotas we went to a local hangout where lots of people chat and have chimarrao or terere. Jasper is enjoying a terere with the gang!Jessi was hanging out in the pool at our friend Ana Paula's house in Pelotas. She learned how to jump in and loved every minute. "PULA, PULA, PULA!!!" "JUMP, JUMP, JUMP"
We also went to another friends BIG farm for a night! We played volleyball, cards and ate lots! Jessi is eying up the cookies and making sure Lidi shares! Our friend Marcelo graduated from university and we all got to dress up. Lidi as always looked beautiful and had a great time with her friends.

We finally got to meet Suzane!!!! Our friends bought an old Volkswagen Kombi and are fixing her up. She is famous with the youth and young adults there! Dwayne was in his glory! They've even sold t-shirts with her name on it to raise money to get her fixed up. Lots of fun!!! We of course bought a couple of shirts to help with the cause!


Jessi took her turn at the wheel! Just a bit of trouble reaching the pedals!
We had a great time and are thankful for the friends we have made! We look forward to the new ones we will make once we move to Quest in Santa Catarina. God is good!

As most of you may know and for those who don't we along with a great team are in the process of starting a new camp called Quest here in Brazil. We are excited about the vision God has put on our hearts and are just waiting to purchase the property we feel he has set aside for us. It is absolutely beautiful and is set up perfectly for what we would like the camp to look like in the future. We have been waiting for God's perfect timing for each step of the process and even though at times this can be difficult we know that if we wait on him it will happen when he wants it to. And so now we keep looking forward to the future and all it holds. Thank you to all our family, friends and partners who have been praying with us throughout this journey. We would not be where we are without the support you have given to us.

We have sent out our news letter regarding more info on Quest as well as the news of our car purchase. If you haven't yet received an email and would like one please let us know. Our new email is dsklass@yahoo.ca

We are so blessed by God and thank everyone for their prayers and giving to make this possible.
