Day 7

15 minutes late in Brazil isn't late at all. I'm doing better. Today was the first day of VBS we had a ton of the kids from Sao Camillo. We started off with breakfast and had a lesson afterwards on Adam and Eve. Later we got into groups and had a coloring time, we talked to the kids told them about America, and I took a ton of pictures. Then came the best part of the day, Soccer time. we played a ton of soccer on a muddy soccer field. Those kids are incredible at soccer and the will definitely teach you humility. The rest of the time with the kids was spent eating and playing Simon says and a huge relay race. One of the stations of the relay race was to get your picture taken making a funny face so I got the privilege of taking all those pictures. I got some that are hilarious.

After the VBS ended it came time to take the kiddos home. My group had about 6 kids and headed to Sao Camillo. The slum was busy with people today. We past by a group of younger guys smoking some weed again, it wasnt the only time today.  We pass by them quickly and headed to the houses of the kids. As we dropped them off we talked to the parents to let them know about tomorrow and the dinner we are having and told them how good of kids they had, and for the most part they all were. after we dropped off our last kid we started to head out we where getting around one of the last corners and on the corner adjacent to us there where some big booms. They lit about 6 big fire crackers, not directed to us. Our translator was telling us that when they do that its for either of two reasons. One, the police where coming, two, drugs had just been brought into the slum. When I asked which was better for us she said neither one really, so we walked a little faster.

Once we got back we all headed off to our host homes to get ready for the house churches. We had plenty of time to kill so my host mom asked if I wanted to go with her to see her music school and also to get her cello from her moms. Her music school is so awesome. It's for little kids and adults. There are separate rooms specifically for drums, piano, cello, guitar and other things. She's been doing it for over 10 years now. Afterwards we went to her moms right across the street and i got to meet here mom dad sister and niece. They are a very sweet family.

We were supposed to go to our families house church but mine had theirs on Thursday so I went to another. They met up at the new Burger King. That place was bumpin and really nice. It was funny to think of the Burger King in Weatherford and compare it to this one. I got the triple and had some good fellowship. Afterwards we headed out to Alexendra's house were the college age group meets. We had some awesome conversation about what it takes to change the world. Our results afterwards turned out so simple. So much was said that I really took to heart.

I'm about done typing its getting late and we have another early morning. Keep praying, tomorrow is our last day in Sao Camillo and really the last day of going out to witness. Please pray we use our time wisely tomorrow.

God is good.

Me and my mom are really loving these updates and stories. We're praying for all of you, Brazillians and Americans, hard. I hope your last night tonight went really great and I have faith that you all made a huge difference in the lives of each person you spoke to. We pray you will have a safe flight & drive home.
