Photo update:

The three kids from the Miriam Infant home with us. We had a short Easter "celebration" together as we gave them Bibles and the extrememly popular Easter Eggs (which are everywhere in Brazil!) The kids from left to right: Deisy (15), Josevaldo (16), and Vitoria (4). Please keep them in your prayers!


On Wednesday morning we got the awesome opportunity to work out at the Fazenda Retiro, which is the AFLC camp in Campo Mourao. It was by far the most exciting work day we've had! Pastor Joni put us to work pulling trees out of the river and cutting back the jungle around it. We were knee deep in mud and having a great time working! Hopefully the entire camp will be cleaned up before English Camp at the end of the month. The two boys in the picture with us are Saymon and Thomaz, our two new students at Bible school. Its been great to have them around campus!

In an attempt to clean all of the mud off ourselves, we climbed aroung the waterfall for awhile. It was definately a great morning!


In the afternoon we split up for our various activities. The boys were able to go on a house visit with Pastor Edson from the local church La Parana. They really enjoyed visiting and getting to know people from the congregation! Hopefully it will be a regular opportunity for them to go. Bethany and I were invited to an Easter party with the participants and staff of our tuesday morning art class. The Psychologists that work with the program planned it and it was quite a bash! Everyone was taken on a bus to an event center where there was huge lawns, eating areas, soccer fields, and trampolines. There was tons of food like ice cream bars, popcorn, hot dogs, cake, etc. Our first brazilian party was definately quite an experience! In the picture with us are Vitoria from the Miriam Infant Home, Ines who works with the art program, and the baby of a lady who was there(she wanted to take pictures of us with her baby because we're American's! I guess its pretty neat to be an American:P )

Have a wonderful evening!
