Looking at pure açai makes my mouth water and my stomach growl. It is that good.
 Our internet speed here in Canada makes me happy.In 1993 we moved to Brazil.

Luke Huber strongly encouraged us to follow his lead in learning the Morse Code. “Then you can communicate for free to through short wave to Canada. You just have to join a ham radio club.” Phone calls cost US$1 per minute.

In 1995 a friend came to the mission prayer meeting in Santarem with a printout in his hand. “There is this thing now, called email. It is especially cool because you can Cc. This is when you get a copy of an email from someone to someone else, and you don’t have to answer it. “ This was the first I’d heard of it.

In 1996 we were one of the first three people in Altamira to get internet. We signed up together with a businessman and an Austrian padre. We had to dial a number in São Paulo, over 2,000 kms away.  We wasted no time buying the US$1,000 phone number to get hooked up.
