The three-night sleep-over for families and youth will start tonight, Sunday. It is our alternative to Carnivál, a celebration of excessive sinning for the most part. If you look in these photos you can see some of the excitement, especially among the youth. 
Chris and Jane Wiens, and Joanne Dekkers, all flew out for the week-end. Chris and Jane were were missionaries with the Xingu Mission for 6 months in Altamira. After moving back to Canada they were key in forming Xtreme Mercy Canada. Joanne Dekkers is also on the Canadian board, and the person you communicate with if you have any questions about donations and receipts, etc.
Other XMC board members include Dan Thiessen and Jim Stevenson. Art Rae and I are non-voting members because we live in Brazil.
