Brazil Trip - Day 3

 
 



We awoke at 7 am (that's 5 am Rensselaer time folks) to loud Christian music in Portuguese! We had some time to get ready for
the day and have some quiet time before breakfast. Breakfast consisted of pancakes, compliments of Tom Gillespie, fruit, cold
meat sandwiches and cashew juice. It was fun to try something new.


Following breakfast we had some devotional time together as we went over Mark 4:35-41. After this time we split up into four
groups and went on a Prayer Walk in the community. We visited several families in the neighborhood that the Moore's have been
ministering to. Some, they have recently helped with building a house, putting in a sink or other projects. Many have come to know
Christ through their ministry here. As we visited we often stopped to pray for various families.

We had some free time after lunch but we spent part of the time hauling a few bricks down to our construction site. Tom helped
some of the local people finish up the brick work. We had some time to swim and relax in the hammocks as well.


This evening, we went to church. It was a very enthusiastic congregation! We presented a drama and the "Brazilian Boogie". The message was on jealousy. We covered parts of James 3, Psalm 145 and Ezekiel 35. Afterwards we went out for chicken. It was rotisserie. (Not sure how to spell that.) Very good.




Phil got busted by the fashion police for showing up in this outfit. What's wrong with this? It's a nice pair of shorts and a nice shirt for crying out loud! I think we'll have to take a vote later to determine this this outfit is really a crime.

Phil - I think the bust was a good one. Although anything is better than an Illini shirt - didn't you take any Purdue shirts? They look good any time, any where.
