Making fruit salad stuff…see the twins in front? beware of twins…most of the time they are great…
The Amexias team (L to R): Miram, Assuario, Lorena, Maninho, Tiago, Esras, and Gilson
The church…pretending they didn’t see me sneak up and pull out a camera…
I really don’t like taking pictures at church. it makes me feel like a tourist. so i snapped one while they were praying for the kids…they always have the kids up front and pray for them before they go to Sunday school (which was on Saturday–Saterday–oh well.)It was a great time in Amexias. Pastor Assuario and his family are amazing people and i love them. It is about 2 hours straight into the interior of Brasil–past 5 cities–to a little town of about 2000. The school lets them use the building, but only on Saturday nights. so that is when we have church. We went early, Esras then teaches guitar and Maninho teaches piano to whoever wants to learn…we eat a WONDERFUL meal, and then have the service. I enjoyed traveling back with the guys–they entertained me with crazy old Brasilian songs the whole way. I am going again tomorrow, with a bus full of friends from Paudalho. oh happy day.

my combie adventures continue. FIVE in a row that is supposed to fit three…and then we got stopped by the police who talked to the driver and who knows what happened next…10 minutes later we were on our way…i wish i could read lips in Portuguese and know what the deal was…
