Update from Sunday Night

Blogger was out of service this morning, but I am now able to post the following from the team:

Sunday Blog:
It was a beautiful sunny Sunday. After breakfast this morning we drive to a mountain top. Chris Kidd, one of the missionaries, took us through a winding, jungled path, to an outlook spot (that some mothers would NOT have wanted to see their kids sitting on). From our steep perch we could see the entire city and surrounding area. Chris led us in a devotional and prayer time, focusing on specific scriptures and the needs of the children at COL that we would be working with. It was a moving time for all of us-and today we started interacting with the children more through the puppet show, ice cream social, and church with them. The church service
was evidence that one does not need to speak the language to be able to worship. During our mountail top service this morning chris ahd shared some of the childrens' pasts-and it was a tribute to God's amazing power to see them sitting in church with their families and praising the Lord in song.

Lessons Learned Today:

*Sugar cane juice tastes like grass
*Brazilian kids LOVE ice cream and puppet shows
*It is possible to fit 75 people on a 40 passenger bus-if there are
handlebars welded to the walls, and kids ride on the bus steps and behind the driver :)

Prayer requests:

*Alex has an ear infection and is in pain
*Several of us have colds-and the number seems to be increasing
*Bible school begins in the morning-50 children grades k-6

We know you are praying and thank you!
