• wa-wa-waa-wa. i feel like a baby that everyone is nice enough to pat on the head and make sure she is taken care of. yikes. i woke up this morning nice and early to start out a new week. i was cold (goodness, i have turned Brasilian already) and shivering, and after devotions covered up again and worked. i was going to do some “Tie-bo” and get all buff (giggle), but i almost broke Edjane’s VCR doing something or other. by the time it worked, it was almost 9, so i said forget it. I am practicing guitar and reading some great books since i really have no idea what else to do…and it is good use of my time. i was reading in the sun (ahh, this is the life) when i realize everyone is gone and my tummy is empty. i decided not to worry and sure enough, one of the seminary guys comes and takes me to the gas station abit later. ahh. good thing they remember me or i would be in a jam! i thought i would stick some more pictures, cuz i sure have plenty of them (although on a side sad note, i dropped my camera yesterday and busted the screen. grr. the same thing happened to my last one.)

  
  

  this picture is from the Brasilian Churrasco–BBQ. this was just one part of one view…and they owned everything everywhere i turned…wow.

  
  

   

  
  

  Imaging racing a four wheeler through there! you know, i think they are gonna have four wheelers in heaven. oh yeah.

  
  

   

  
  

  

  
  

  oh goodness. The seminary guy that made sure i had lunch just bought me a picole (popsicle) from the bell-ringing picole guy. whoa. i am so spoiled. anyways, let me type before i drip…this picture is from VBS…this was the line of kids that showed up AFTER we already had every seat full in the church. This was the first day and it was then i knew we were in for a ride:). oh, and that is Mark as superman, greeting each child in line.

  
  

  this next picture is two of my cuties…the one on the left was also a troublemaker…the cute ones always seem to be:). it must be the key to their survival.

  This was a picture of Karine and i singing…this was one of the songs in Portuguese that i had never heard before, so i just clapped and smiled…sometimes reading lips and following along like i knew what i was doing. We are on a large stage with 50-60 people standing around listening. the glow-y thing is my necklace if you wanted to know.
