Yesterday, we had the privilege of serving along with the friends we are staying with, at a church and community outreach project to neighborhood kids. We were the “guests of honor” whom the kids got to hear from, as an “american family”. We showed them a slideshow of some of the day in day out activities of life in the states, and then we got “interviewed” with some questions. We then got to share a little about our faith in Christ, and Fabio felt a strong leading to share a brief description of his testimony, which he did all on his own in Portuguese. While he was sharing, the often rambunctious kids were extremely riveted to what he had to say, and you could hear a pin drop! I am exceedingly proud of my love, who did an awesome job sharing about God’s love for the first time in Portuguese. He’s amazing!!
After that the kids spent a large part of the time playing. The boys playing soccer, and the girls doing a sorta dance/choreography to music. Both Willik and Phoenix joined in and played soccer along with Brasilian boys, and had a super time. The kids loved asking us to say stuff in English, and asking about America.
We then had lunch with them, where they insisted in hearing Fabio pray in English, while I translated. Willik held his own, and started to make friends, and develop his Portuguese. Phoenix is still being a bit stubborn, and is not saying much at all in Portuguese. He’s going todo it at his own pace! We gave them FBC High Seas Day Camp tshirts, and they loved it! Many of them gave me hugs and kisses, thanking us for bringing the shirts. It was really sweet!
Tomorrow we will be going to an orphanage. I can’t wait!
