Happy Thursday Evening!

Every Tuesday morning we have our art class that we attend with a few of the kids from the Miriam Infant Home. Its one of the best parts of the week! We get to make friends with kids from around the city as well as get to know some of the social workers. This is a mural we've been working on. Bethany and I picked the subject of "communication". Its been a fun project so far! The man in the background is our art teacher, Alessandro. He is great working with the kids and I've really enjoyed getting to know a brasilian artist!

Here's a cultural difference: mosquitoes. Their quite a bit more blood-thirsty here! Bethany recieved a few well placed bites on her ankle that made it swell up quite noticably!

On Saturdays Thomaz is in charge of leading a children's program at Jardim Esperança. Its in a very poor neighborhood and is a great avenue of ministry. Pray that many kids would continue to come and hear the Word. Also that God would provide people to help work there.

On monday night we had our friends Monise and Sabrine over, along with some girls who teach at Sabrine's English school. It was such a fun night! Complete with a bonfire, s'mores and cheesecake. The English school teachers thought it was so crazy that American's actually have bonfires with s'mores...they'd only seen it in movies:)

Have a blessed evening!
