Adventure Vacations

I´m in Brazil. Actually, for already a week. We left Bolivia the very same day we got to the border and didn´t go to the school. We met Tara, Ruan and almost all the other volunteers in Guayaramerin though. It was great to see them again - even if it was just for lunch. Monday night, we spent in Porto Velho with Nailson´s sister and her husband and Tuesday night, we got here (Ouro Preto).

Since that night and today has happened A LOT!!! I watched beautiful sunrises (pic) and sundowns, heard monkeys sing, drank coconut water of I don´t know how many coconuts in a row (delicious! right from the tree), I went paragliding (and realized a dream with it), made sugar cane juice, went horseback riding (and overcame my fear of horses and actually loved it), went to worships in different churchs (Adventist, Baptist and another one) and even got to sing in the Baptist church, continued my motorbike lessons David started in the US (thanks Nailson!), dropped my camera while being in the back of a truck and broke the screen =(, learned a lot about all the different fruits and trees and got to see coffee and cacao plantations, ate a lot of rice and it actually ocurred to me, that it is pretty easy to cook for Brazilians (you just have to know how to cook rice and beans...), watched real cowboys at work and one of them (Nailson) riding a cow (crazy!)...

Tomorrow, I´ll have the Wednesday night worship in Nailson´s church. It is really not boring here and I actually don´t know yet, when I want to leave... I would love to stay for the week of prayer about the sanctuary, too (Arturo and Nailson will do it, starting on Sabbath). Sigh. Let´s see.

Hope to be back with a blog, soon.
