This is the only day that we'll be able to say that....:)
Well, so far its been a wonderful week! It seems like we're always busy doing something and its been a great time. Yesterday and today we worked on painting the new building at Joanna Abel's English school. So far, the first coat is finished. There's alot of paint on my clothes, but it was definately worth it. The preschool class meets in the building we're painting and I've been able to make lots of adorable new friends:) My computer isn't letting me upload pictures at the moment, but there will be some soon.
A large part of our time has been spent with the local neighborhood boys just hanging out. Its been great to get to know them and build relationships. Most of them come from difficult backgrounds and really need good role models in their lives. Pastor Abel has been doing a daily morning Bible study with a few of them and the impact that has made definately shows. Tonight we did a variety of things: they taught us a few of their Brazilian games, I gave them English lessons in exchange for Potuguese lessons, and after singing some worship songs in Portuguese we taught them the Hippo Song! (a VBS favorite!). Definately a great time!
Right now its sounding like we'll be staying here until the end of next week so we look forward to growing these relationships!
Good night!
Amanda
