Hello! This is my first time updating this blog (or any blog)! A big thanks to our wonderful friends Carman and Erik Kasper for all their help with this blog and with our upcoming fundraiser. We have never had a blog before, so this will be a learning experience! I have been asked to explain what we will be doing in Brazil as missionaries with Central Brazil Missions ( CBM), so here goes-

First off, we are the Cellura Family, Mark, Annemarie, Nick and Noah. I'm Annemarie, a wife mother and teacher. I'm especially excited about working in the women's, children's and English ministries. My husband Mark, who has so far been to Brazil six times, and has a real heart for the people of Brazil, and a gift for organizing building projects. Noah, who will be turning 13 soon, is looking forward to meeting new friends aand getting an entirely different experience by beginning 8th grade on a different continent. Nick, our oldest son, will be staying behind to finish school at the University of North Florida and will come visit us on breaks.

We will start out in Goiania, a bustling city of 1.2 million. We will be in an intensive language course, learning Portugeuse, while we are busy with that we will also teach English. This is one of the many opportunities we will have work with the youth at CBM's churches. We are looking forward to helping host the teams that arrive each month from the U.S. My husband Mark will also be working on the development and refurbishing of CBM's camp property just outside the city. Throughout this we will work closely with the leadership team of CBM to discover how we can best use our gifts to serve the people of Brazil.

After a year in Goiania we plan to head to the Amazon! We'll be keeping you posted on that in future blogs!!

God bless,
Annemarie
