Ze part-ay
So I have been visiting PETI to see my kids:
It has been fantastic. Last Thursday I realized I had lost all of my dodgeball skills. I must have left them in the USA. But playing with the kids until my toes turned brown was…wonderful. GOODNESS I missed them!
Last week Patricia, Cacau, and I worked to put together a party for the kids. I was really glad that the bags that came to Brazil for the Christmas Party For Jesus hadn’t been given out yet, since the program was on break, and that I would get to be a part of that, after missing so much last year.
It was a bittersweet time, as we were also announcing the end of PETI (the government program) in connection with Living Stones, meaning that the kids would not meet at the church anymore, but at a different location.
Emily and Lindsay came and were a great help, providing the kids with s’mores–a first for the kids–and a success.
Flavio came and we sang some songs
Patricia and Cacau made hot dogs and cake (I helped by licking out the bowl)
Celso shared an encouraging word
And don’t forget present time!
It was a wonderful time…
THANK YOU!

How sweet! Mmm… and now I think I may go make a s’more (microwaved) and some cocoa after having come in from outside shoveling snow/raking snow off our roof!
