Today began bright
and early with a camp tradition of an American breakfast, prepared by your very
own Brasil team….you all did know that part of our training included mastering
culinary skills, right!? Like flipping pancakes!? Yes, we did the traditional pancakes &
syrup and scrambled eggs for breakfast. We would have loved to add bacon, but
here bacon is VERY expensive, if you can find it. I think the kids enjoyed it just fine without
bacon though! The Brazilian staff did
not enjoy our American coffee however!! Making it without sugar, sugar and MORE
sugar is quite unheard of here! We
enjoyed a few cups ourselves, then we noticed the staff sneaking the remaining
coffee and mixing it with their super sweet traditional Brazilian coffee!
After breakfast, the
kids headed off to chapel one last time, played a few more games, opting to
stay out of the rain today, and finished with a lunch around 2:00 pm. Tears
were shed, hugs were given, and Facebook names exchanged. It is amazing the connection that can be
built between two people even when languages are different.
It has rained
non-stop since we arrived here in Mogi, apparently we brought the cold and wet
with us?! They say it was sunny and warm
before we arrived! We're not sure what
to believe as every year we come it's cold. And wet. Did I mention cold!?
Especially at night. Needless to say,
some of us were very happy that mom & dad made us pack that extra jacket we
didn't think we needed….but I won't mention any names!
The afternoon was
spent brushing up on the dramas, music and dance presentations for the evening
service, napping and just resting up a bit.
Our team of 9 split
up in the evening and headed out to 3 different churches. Some of us went to the church in Mogi, where
Pastor Conrad preached in the evening service, some of us went to the church in
Suzanno, where we shared in song, and the rest accompanied Pastor Denis to Sao
Jose where Maddie presented in Dance.
