Oiiiiiii!!!

Hiiiiiii everyone! I finally have found the time to put up a post! It has been really busy here and I have been having a great time so far. :) I just might not come back Lol! I have been planning to blog for the last couple of days, but I hadn`t gotten around to it until now. Let me tell you about my experience yesterday. When I woke up I was rather sick and I thought I had Dengue!!!(sickness that you can get from mosquitoes) Ahhh! It gave me quite a scare. I had a fever, aching bones and muscles and was really exhausted, but luckily I was given the opportunity to sleep more in the morning, instead of walking around evangelizing from door to door. Even though I really wanted to go outside, I decided to sleep instead. The sleep helped me a bit and I drank lots of water too. It turned out that I didn`t have Dengue because if I did, I wouldn`t have been able to even get out of my bed. I ended up sleeping more in the afternoon and then I really wanted to go to the kids program at 4:00 but Joel, being the good guy that he is, thought that I should rest until I got better. So I was rather sad that I would be missing the last day of our kids program, but then Pastor Valter said that he would give me a ride to the sports centre on his motor cycle, if I was feeling better, so that I wouldn`t get tired walking! :D I was soooo pumped! So when the time came, it was a great experience; as it was my first motorcycle ride! Woot Woot! :P When I got there, the kids cheered me up with their smiles, hugs and portuguese words that I couldn`t understand. Lol I think I just needed to get out and do something after resting almost all day.

Also, after supper we had a night of drama and music for the public. Our Team Brazil performed our "Above All" Drime, that we made for class and then I was also in a drime with 7 other people on our "Projeto Agua Viva" Missions Team. They also did another drime by themselves. So it was a really a cool experience and good way to end the day after being sick.　
If you guys could pray for good health for everyone on our team, it would be really appreciated, but especially Victoria and I because we have had some symptoms of heat stroke possibly. It was around plus 40ish yesterday and it is usually 35+ during the day when we are out. Also if you could pray for us to get some rest because we usually get up at 6:30am and go to bed at 11:30pm and working in the heat is rather exhausting.

Tomorrow is our last full day with our "Projeto Ague Viva" team members and it will be sad to leave them, but we will be taking a bus ride with them from Barão du Grajaú　to Demerval Lobão, which is 30km south of Teresina. Once we arrive there, we will be going to the Ranch again, to work with Joel`s parents. I can`t wait to meet up with the people there again, but I will also miss the people I have already met. I know God has great plans for all of us as we move on to the ranch to work with them and then back to Canada. The people that I have met and prayed for here will forever be in my heart because they have taught me so much about God`s love and even with some personal areas that I need to grow in. I thank God for this opportunity to come here to serve him and become closer to him as well.

Thank-you (Obrigada) for your prayers and I can`t wait to tell you more stories about our trip as we get back. God Bless!　

Ps. I wrote this blog on the 14th and we tried posting it, but there was no internet until now, so thanks for your prayers again because I am no longer sick. I was only sick for about one day and now we have been at the ranch for 3 days and have been doing projects inside and out for Joel´s parents. I think we all got a little burnt even though we put sun screen on. :P Talk to you later and see you all soon, as we are on last stretch of our trip. God Bless!
