Third day in the Amazon

HI!
Today was a very fun day, we went to a village named Paraiso. My mom and I met lots of
 
people with great stories behind them. I (Katy) worked at vbs this morning and in that we
 
told the story of queen Esther and colored crowns for the kids to wear and take with
 
them. After we completed that we sang songs and played outside. Jesse,Jackson, and Emily
 
O., and I played soccer for about two hours and even though we lost 2 to 8 we had lots of
 
fun.  Cally spent the morning videoing all of the various activities that were taking
 
place in the village.  I (Cally) also helped in the medical triage area. We came back to
 
the boat to eat lunch rest and continue to make family bags to hand out in the village,
 
we went back to the village and made pictures with the kids and continued to give medical
 
help to the people who needed it. After about two hours it was time for the church
 
service. Becky shared her testimonial with the people of the village and met a woman who
 
had the same background and was very encouraged by her story. we came back to the boat
 
when the service was over and had a yummy dinner! Now after a long day of work we are
 
ready to get some rest for another days work tomorrow. Tomorrow we plan to go to a
 
village which no one has gone to yet but we are just as excited! We miss everyone in
 
Texas and we cant wait to get home and share more of our experiences with y'all!
We love you!(go mavs!)
 
Love Cally and Katy:)
 
 
 
Oy yall!!!
this has been the experience of a life time. the kids are so precious. mom and dad- get
 
ready to welcome a little brazilian kid into the fam, because im going to bring one
 
home...seriously. it is very hot and humid even though it is only winter here; i can only
 
imagine what its like in the summer. God working in these villages is very evident, and
 
its so wonderful to see. everyone was right, this is really changing me spiritually. God
 
working is not the only work that is evident. sadly, satan's work is visible. oh the
 
stories i have to tell yall. dont worry, im fine. quit freaking out! love everyone!!!
