Only one week left...!!
WOW I can't believe how time has flown! I am only here in Atibaia for one more week before I join the group from Boca Raton Community Church. I have to say, I do NOT want to leave! It seems like I just arrived!
I decided I should probably post a picture of my apartment--here is where I live! I have never lived by myself before, and it's really nice because I can keep things as organized and clean as I want. And I have a great, already-furnished kitchen! I'm learning how to cook some different types of Brazilian food. Ironically, coffee was the hardest thing for me to master.
These past few days have been great times of rest and relaxation and time with friends! It seems like each night there is a new thing to do--Thursday night we went clear out to another city to get "Massas," which I then learned was just pasta! Friday night some of us has fondue at a friend's house and watched a movie. Today I went with Thais and Micheli and Ana and some other people to the Atibaia Festival of Strawberries and Flowers. It was really fun! Fruit is sooo good here, especially the strawberries! Later this evening, we had college group and I got to see everyone all over again.
I am SO incredibly blessed by the friendships I have here. Brazilians are so warm and immediately accepting (I know I've said this before) and it feels like I've known these people for years.
In terms of prayer requests, I have a lot of praises that I just mentioned! This week I want to really crack down on writing some instrumental arrangements for praise band of some of the songs that I've been learning. There is way more work than I have time for, but pray that God would just give me the endurance and inspiration to do my best with excellence.
Hugs!!

Joy, it was so great to see your apartment!! And it looks like you got a tan, so now you look even more Brazilian.
It's amazing to me that Dad and I are home praying for our two girls out there serving the Lord in very different places very far from home at the same time. What a blessing you both are!!
