Day Six

We had another great day of wiffle ball. We had a new group of girls, probably 7th graders and many of our boys came for the third day! I think there were about 25 kids in attendance and after the clinics, we were able to have two games going simultaneously. One boy, Patrick, lives in an apartment near the church and he stayed with us for lunch, our afternoon project and dinner. He speaks some English and loves the teenage boys.

We had chocolate salami for lunch dessert. Sound weird? It's a chocolate loaf, kind of like a stiff brownie with vanilla cookie crumbs baked inside. It comes in a loaf like salami and is served in slices. Yum!

After our usual hour rest, we began planting and mulching the church flowerbeds. We split up clumps of flowers and spread them around and also planted new plants that Gil purchased. The team made good progress but will have more of that to do tomorrow afternoon. Adam and Tim continued texturing the ceiling in the church auditorium.

We're practicing a new skit to use on Friday at the tournament. We're doing the one where the girl carries around her heart, people mistreat it and eventually she gets a new heart from Jesus. (Remember when it was last performed at FBC, Shanna was the girl.).

Prayer meeting was at 9 p.m. (that's late for us!). Gil gave a devotion on the tongue from the book of James, and went back and forth from English to Portuguese so everyone would understand. Then we broke up for prayer time, followed by snacks.

Now it's bedtime and as usual, I'm the last one up, typing away. I will post more pictures as soon as Pastor Dan gets them to my computer.

Ciao for now.
