We are about to eat dinner here at the camp for the last time until Monday...Beans and rice...yeah! Actually the food here is great. Last night we were surprised with a delivery of the chocolate pizza we've been hearing so much about. It definitely needs to be added to the menus of American pizza places. We spent the day today prepping some more for various camp things, getting the band ready (learning songs in Portuguese) and spiritually preparing as well. Our times of worship together have been great and we're looking forward to next week. Tomorrow we'll head back into Rio, visit the famous Christ statue, the beach and then hit an all-you-can-eat Brazillian BBQ for dinner. Then it's off to our host homes for the weekend. We'll meet up a few times over the weekend for church, etc.
Everyone is doing great! Thanks for all the prayers and the encouraging comments!
Sorry, still not many pics, but we did figure out internet (very slow) at the camp, so we'll hopefully be able to do some more frequent/longer posts.
How cool chocolate pizza!! we are glad to hear all is well. It sounds like you are all well prepared in all areas for next week. . . We are praying that the weekend will be fun and safe and that you will all be an encouragement to your host families. Enjoy the hospitality . . . and Andrew. .
