We were given the morning off today to catch up on some sleep, but some folks used the time to catch up on some shopping. After a delicious lunch at a nearby buffet, we went to the church to prepare for the Vacation Bible School that we will help with tomorrow. The church’s praise team, which is comprised of our friend Mario and some other young people, was excited to have us sing with them and practice some songs for tomorrow’s worship service. We felt God’s presence as we sang songs in both English and Portuguese and watched two groups of girls dance to the music. Towards the end of the evening, we had fun practicing the Chicken Dance and Electric Slide for tomorrow’s festivities.
Pastor Pedro and his family were our guests for dinner at a local dining hotspot where the favorite dish is tapioca…Now, we know what you’re thinking, and no, we did not have pudding for dinner. Here, “tapioca” means flat pancakes made from tapioca flour, folded and filled with various treats…Picture a white burrito with no sauce and you pretty much have it…While we are not building walls with bricks or sand this weekend, we continue to build relationships through Christ’s love. We thank you for the cards and letters that you’ve sent. Your encouraging words are heartfelt and brighten our days. We feel your prayers and are thankful for each of you. Know that as you pray for us, we also pray for you.
