In case you were wonering, I am officially in Brazil. I know, I haven´t blogged at all. I was having problems logging on at first and couldn´t understand how to get my password due to the portugese directions. Honestly, I didn´t really try to figure it out because I have been extremely apprehensive about blogging. I am not a very good writer, so when I began thinking about how the pblic would be able to read this, it kinda weirded me out. I have realized that it doesn´t matter, people just want to know that I am okay and know what I am doing.
I am okay.
As for what I am doing, the answer is TONZ! We have a weekly schedule:
Monday-property maintenance
Tuesday-seminary in the AM bible study in the PM
Wednesday-construction at favela Glebba B and church there at night
Thursday-property maintenance (AM) church at shakara (PM)
Friday-seminary , property maintenance, then FAMILY TIME!!
Saturday-visit Favelas in Sao Paulo
Sunday-Church at Shakara(AM) visit favelas Monte Cristo & Glebba B in Campinas
This schedule has allowed for me to build relationships with the children. I have become Tia Amber and have grown to absolutely love these kids. I wish I could put pictures on here, but I don´t know how, nor do I have the time to.Brazil is a beautiful country-beautiful smiles, beautiful landscaping, and beautiful people. My stay here had been very comfortable from my bed and showers, to the food and the company. I know I will be back here, the question is just when. Thank you for keeping me in your prayers. I will keep updating. I know I am only here for 3 more weeks, but I will.
Thanks for your patience,
Amber
