Hi everyone! Today was a great day filled with VBS. This time, we got to play with the kids after doing the VBS session. This was my favorite part of the day. The children are so precious and have the sweetest spirits. They love when Americans play with them and hug them. We played soccer, tag, blew bubble and threw frisbees. I got to play with two little girls, Natalia and Gabriella, and they were so sweet. The girls took joy in such simple things as crayons, hugs and bubbles. Today I (and the rest of the team) were able to fully grasp the reason Jesus calls us to have a childlike faith, full of joy, purity and love. Mr. Briscoe had a unike opportunity tonight. He was able to talk to the praise team and choir of Pastor Elmer's church and share his heart about worship. Each day I am falling more in love with Brazil, particularly the children and I believe I can speak for the whole team and say that we are having one of the best experiences of our lives. God's creation is incredible; the scenery, they people, and the relationships he is allowing us to develop with each other as well as with the Brazilian people. Our translators are such a special gift! They all have different personalities and strive to serve us. It is awesome to get to know them better as the trip goes on. They have such a heart for God's ministry and their joy is contagious. Please pray for safe travel to the village and for energy and strength as we continue our mission. We miss each and every one of you!
