Every Thursday afternoon we go to a village allied Temane. This village has 5 believers, no Bibles, and no church building. We have been going to build relationships with these people and teach them about God. I did two new things while I was there this past week: I pounded rice and shared my testimony in Portuguese!
 |
| Meghan and Lilly brought bubbles for the first time. The kids LOVED them! (Notice the little girl with the babydoll strapped on her back in front of Meghan.. so precious!) |
 |
| Flora, my language teacher, and I pounding rice. It was hard work and I lasted about 5 minutes. |
 |
| We were watching so we knew how it was done. These girls are from 6-12 years old...they are working at an early age! |
 |
| Right before we started |
 |
| The girl was walking around trying to find someone to help her. Tracy called her over and retied her baby doll on! |
 |
| My second momma! |
Here are a few faces I get to see each week. Love these kids with all my heart and I want ALL of them to come home with me!
 |
| I could eat her with a spoon! |
 |
| Beautiful |
 |
| They LOVE to smile and laugh! |
 |
| Can I have him, please? |
 |
| Jesus, Jesus |

My testimony in Portuguese. It's hard to hear in some parts
because of the wind and kids. So listen closely.
Enjoy!

Wow! That is VERY cool! You did a great job! Caroline is here today because she is out for Thanksgiving break. She watched it and said, "Wow! She's speaking another language!" She said to say, "Caroline says I love her!" We all do and we pray that your time there will be all that you pray it will be and more! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
ReplyDeleteTechnology just amazes me - so glad you had the opportunity to share your testimony, and in another language no less! Now it's on video forever! Those precious children - I remember the feeling I had wanting to take all of the Jamaican babies home with me 14 years ago... I can only imagine your love for them growing deeper since you see them on a weekly basis! Love your pictures and love reading your heart! Keep writing and sharing, and we will keep praying!
