English Church

This is a Sunday morning during our English church service at the International school. Ususally the service is full but there was a big test going on for high school students. Rogerio was sharing his testimony in English and then someone translated for him. The people that go to the service are learning English or already speak English and want to practice. I alway love hearing how God chose my husband and brought him to himself!

This is my English class afterwards. I ususally have about 17 students but they were all gone today taking the test.

View From our House

I thought I would take this picture from the window in front of our house. We live in the center of the city. It is an interesting neighborhood. Because there are no rules about building here. There are some nice houses around us but then right in front is a little (favela) a bunch of houses together. There are always a bunch of people outside and lots of kids playing in the front of our house. We say hi and interact with them and are praying for a chance to share with them about Jesus. But we also have to be careful because we do not really know what kind of people they are and we can not really let the kids play on the streets because of the language etc! Rogeerio alway invites the kids to come play basketball with him at the school. The older ones in front of our house seem to be interested in volleyball. When you get tired of all the building rules and regulations in the US remember this picture and be thankful for rules. Without rules look at what you get!

Porto de Galinhas

This is Porto de Galinhas south of Recife. It is a big tourist spot for all of Brazil. We are about a two hour drive away. It is very pretty. We went a coupld of weeks ago. We are spending some of our Saturday's getting to know the area around us. As time goes on we know that we will not be as free on Saturdays so we are using this time now. Soon Rogerio would like to have some basketball activities on Saturdays.

Yes, I am the only person at the beach with tennis shoes on and not wearing a bikini. This area of the beach has rock formations that form pools of water and they can take you out in boats to see the pools and different fish. We did not go this time. We were just looking around.
