After getting to
sleep in a bit, Day 8 was a 'sight-seeing' day for us…with a twist! We were
dropped off in the middle of downtown Mogi and told "have a great day,
we'll be back later!" We did have
Josh & Ben with us, but still, none of us are even close to being fluent in
Portuguese! We enjoyed walking around
downtown, seeing the main Cathedral and the open market. I particularly love the open market for the
massive amounts of cheap dried fruit, an enormous selection of fresh fruit and
fresh fruit juices everywhere!
We walked around and
souvenir shopped for most of the day, then rested for a bit in the afternoon
before going to a Small Group Bible Study….half of us to the church in Mogi
where Conrad taught, and the other half to the church in Suzano. It was a good lesson in evangelism…and living
the kind of life that would exemplify to others our life in Christ.
Tomorrow is another
day of rest & recuperation for our team…we have several team members who
have come down with a cold of some sort…no one is out of commission yet, but
certainly in need of just rest & sleep.
We will visit the Beach tomorrow ( I know, tough missions trip!) before
starting a whirlwind of ministry for the weekend….English Camps, meetings and
church.
Please pray for our
sick team members, for the English camps this weekend…that we can be an example
& a testimony to the youth attending, and that there would be opportunities
arise to share the Gospel.
