This morning we had another good work session. John and Nate have been doing all sorts of outside raking, weeding, maintenance in general, and Bethany and I have been sweeping, mopping and washing windows! I never realized before how much work goes into maintaining a campus...its a great learning experience! Everyone here is super friendly and willing to help us learn.
Yesterday afternoon, our friend Karla had Bethany and I over for juice and cookies. She's newly married and works for the school. Even though we sturggle with the language, we find ways to communicate. Usually our conversation end in laughter! Her husband, Eduval (he is the older brother of our friend Daniel from Bateias!) eventually started using Google Translator online to talk to us, and it was the most hilarious thing ever!
Classes are also going well so far. The teachers here are very passionate about what they teach, and they are fun and challenging to listen to! Many great opportunities to learn Portuguese come from hearing them.
On Saturday, Bethany and I are heading to a women's conference in Londrina so there may not be any updates for awhile....but hopefully a chance will arrise before then!
Serve Jesus!
