Today has been a great day so far! Bethany and I now have the opportunity to work with school program for troubled kids on tuesday mornings. Its a program that puts kids in an environment where they can have fun doing various art projects (which were all really cool!) while being observed by psychologists. They spend some time talking with and counseling each child separately, and also encouraging them to interact with the group. It was so interesting be there and learn about the work they're doing. The program is not Christian, but it looks like we'll have plenty of opportunities to share with them! About halfway through our morning everyone was getting tired of sitting down...so Bethany and I asked if we could teach them a song. If you've heard the Hippo Song then you know its a TON of fun! They all attempted to learn the English and were dying of laughter at our crazy actions. Since it was in English, we translated the message, and they were able to hear about a magnificent God who created the entire world and loves us SO much! Please keep this new ministry opportunity in your prayers:)
The boys were joined for work today by our two newest students! Thomaz and Seymon arrived here yesterday from Curitiba. We're so excited to have two more people staying on campus now!
Its time for afternoon coffee so I'll sign off now....Tchau!
