Highlights from Brazil

Here are some wonderful highlights from Rio so far...

Went to a neighborhood to do dances and dramas - there was a moving truck full of furniture in the spot we had planned to perform in. We helped the people unload their truck so it could be moved for our dances. Many people came out, especially to see the "Americans" unloading a truck. We had a great time and many people gave their lives to Jesus.

Coffee is "Muito Bem" or very good. And the Food is AMAZING.

We are staying with a Brazilian family. They are very nice and very sweet. But they know about as much English as we know Portuguese. I have some great stories about some of the talks we have had together - however, some would not be appropriate for blogging. Just ask us when we return.

We went out to perform, but it started raining so we decided to talk to people stranded under tarps at the local sidewalk bazaar. My group talked to a little girl who got so excited she took us to her older sister and insisted that we tell the story of Jesus to her. The older sister accepted Jesus as her savior. Halleluia! All because of a little obedience and a little girl.

The children I work with giggle all the time, and always ask me to say their name. I thought it was because they liked me, but I have come to find out they just want me to talk because they think my accent is funny. Hey, if my funny accent attracts more people to hear about Jesus, I can accept them laughing at me.

That is it for now. We love you.
