rhythm

Nothing of real note to blog on this past week, after my last adventure life here in Altamira seems somewhat calm. Adding to that, we've noticed recently that our lives have fallen into somewhat of a rhythm. For me that means having more defined responsibilities with the maintenance of the boats, as well as traveling more to the interior where we are planting churches. Brin and the girls, on the other hand, seem to have more responsibilities in Altamira which makes it more difficult for them to travel.

Friday night outreach that Brin leads.

Brin continues to lead a Friday night outreach to students from our English school. It's been exciting to see several students begin attending one of our churches as a result of the outreach. Brin also helps on Saturdays with a small group of young people from our church that go to a local orphanage to spend time with the kids.

More and more, the girls seem to be adjusted to their Brazilian school and are enjoying several new friendships. The other day Mia said that her teacher told her that her eyes look like Jesus. We weren't sure what to make of that, but then realized that what she meant to say was that she said they looked like the sky, which in Portuguese is the same word for heaven. I suppose having Jesus' eyes would be a pretty good compliment though.
