So last week was a big week. It was Campaign Week. We had two families fly in from the States to help us, Mike and Debbie Quirey and Greg and Cynthia Powell. The week was full but probably one of the best weeks we've had yet.
What my week entailed:
A Red, White, and Blue potluck
Plastering a room of one of the church members' homes
Prayer walk through the neighborhood
More plastering
Night of prayer
A trip to the beach and Pelourinho for our campaigners
English Bible Study for those wanting to improve their English
Morning Devo on the beach
Spreading information around town about our Saturday
A trip to an Autism School here in Salvador to bring toys and visit the families of the students
Staff Bible Study
Painting the room we plastered
Setting up for our Saturday
Super Sabado (Super Saturday- or in other words.. VBS)
And to end, of course, another potluck :)
So obviously, lots of activities. Amazingly enough, it wasn't stressful. If anything, the people and activities were refreshing. Okay, maybe there were some moments during the game time at VBS that were pure chaos and maybe I got a little sick one day this week most likely from a tasty coconut popsicle I bought from a street vendor. A week like that doesn't go without any hiccups. But hiccups and all, I'd love to do it all over again. Absolutely worth it.
In other news, yesterday Trish, Marcy and I went to a beautiful park named Campo Grande in the middle of the old down town. Russ calls it the heartbeat of the city. We basically got off a bus with no real destination but to wander around and it was so nice. I have pictures from the park and from VBS last Saturday.
Today around 2 I leave for four days to go to a women's conference out of the city. I am definitely excited to see another side of the country. There are 11 women from the church going and I also look forward to spending more time with all of them. Updates and pictures to come :)
