Brazil post 3

Brilliant post names, I know it.

Ok, I haven't had a whole lot of time to take photos or post on my blog.  Sorry about that.  Life takes a lot of work here.  I'm so impressed by all the missionaries here (not that I didn't expect to feel that way).  They all work so hard and they all have to work so closely together.  They all pitch in to help and cover for eachother when needed.  They are like an extended family here.

One of the Brazilian ladies here who doesn't speak very good English really went out of her way to talk to me in English last night.  She told me I remind her of an English teacher she had for six months at the university.  The middle school dorm parents, Jeremy and Macy, hosted a fish fry (or grill, really) for their dorm, another missionary family, us, and several of the Brazilian women (a couple of them are cooks in the dining hall among other things) who work here. 

Ok, if you know me well, you should know I don't like fish, but I had some of this fish...not sure what it was, last night and it really didn't taste fishy, but there was also sausage and chicken and pineapple grilled and rice and beans and this really yummy stuff like pico de gallo and we brought candy for dessert. 

Here are some pics.  Last Saturday after the fishing tournament we headed down river to a little community called San Lazaro. The high school boys and girls and the middle schoolers played soccer against their teams.

Some chickens running around down by the far goal.

 

 

Megan not sharing the umbrella.  Do you think she got in trouble for this?

 

 

Me and Todd getting ready to watch the soccer game.

 

 

Some of the kids were digging tunnel in the dirt. 

 

 

Todd's rear got just a little dirty.
