Phone contact with mom before flying to Brazil!

Rourke was able to speak with Vicki last week before he left. "He said he absolutely loves it.  He doesn't miss anything about home except mostly his hair.  He does miss his family, however, he is not homesick.  His visa finally came thru on October 31, and he flew out to Brazil 11/1/2011.  He called me from JFK, he had a 5 hour layover and spent $30.00 in phone cards, but he sounded good.  He said he is learning a lot, already knows quite a bit of Portuguese. Anyways, he is doing good.  He was excited to go to Brazil, and serve the people.  He said he cant wait to get there and just share the gospel with them.  As soon as I get his new address I will let you all know.  He should be writing via emails, however, he said they do not get much computer time.  Ive heard maybe 30 minutes per week is all they get.  So, said just to tell everyone he is doing well and LOVES and MISSES everyone.  He said the gospel is true and he just wants to get out there."
