Wow! Our time here so far has been so amazing and we still have the bulk of the “work” ahead of us. I enjoyed today very much. I felt like it was a good mix between sports evangelism and a cultural experience. Instead of attending a morning worship service we went to a private community and worked with a basketball clinic. This population was much wealthier than most other populations we will be working with; however, everyone needs to hear the word of God and it was a great way to spend Sunday morning. Evening is when the big worship service takes place in Brazil. I loved the experience of praising and worshiping in a different country. Even though we could not always understand what was being said, the presence of the Lord was still felt! It is very evident in how God has been working in that particular area and church. The congregation was extremely large and every seat was full. It was great to see that! I think we are all ready to get into the schools tomorrow and share the Lord’s love with all of the beautiful children. Thanks to all of those who have been keeping us in your thoughts and prayers!
