Day 4

It stormed all last night, you really hear the thunder when your on the 15th floor of an apartment complex. This morning we woke up on time took our showers on time and got out of the house on time. We started off a whole lot different then we have the past 2 days.  We spent a lot of time at the salom playing soccer reading praying having a good time. After lunch we headed of to the same neighborhood we were in yesterday to invite some kids to the meeting house because we were putting on another production but for kids. Lance our translator and I only had one hour to invite some kids but we spent a lot of it witnessing to people.
5 o' clock rolled around and we started our thing for the kids we ended up getting some where around 25 to 30 kids to come, it was awesome. The Brazilians did some funny skits we did some fun dances and in doing so we were all sharing the word of Jesus and mainly just loving on these kids. at the end we were handing out bracelets, doing face paint. all those kids were having a blast.
There was a man that lance and I talked to today that was really stand offish and plainly said he was catholic and stood aside as we wold some others about Christ, well later on he showed up and stood across the street the during our little production. Afterwards one of the pastors went over and was talking to him. I'm not sure of the outcome but I was happy to see him there looking for something.
We headed back to the salom afterwards had dinner played some more soccer and had a little service. They had one of the elders speak and he had a good message. How we don't need to worry about little things, if we used all our mind and soul and were concerned of the kingdom of God then the rest will be given.
This made me think of the things that I'm worried about especially some recent things that kind of bog me down but if I stop worrying about those things and concentrate on the spreading the word of God and furthering his Kingdom things will work out. It's gonna be tough but it's possible. Prayer is key. I wish a lot of people close to me were here with me to witness the things that i have been and also learn some good lessons that I have. More reason for me to share fully when I get back.
Please pray for us tomorrow we are going to Sao Camillo, this is the slum watched by a drug lord. we shouldn't have problems because they know we are coming with their kids and that we aren't just a bunch of strangers wondering there territory (so chill Ma, and Cathy if your reading this we will be ok). We are all fasting tomorrow morning and we will all be definitely praying about Sao Camillo. Thank you for all your prayers.

Also my host mom was telling me just a little bit ago that a man we lead to Christ last summer has been doing really good. He changed his whole life relized the work he was doing wasn't glorifying God so he started doing something else. Him and his wife had a baby and they are doing really good. something exciting thought i would share.
