a funny week

Going to give a bit of a shorter update today if that's okay.  

It was a bit of a weird week this week simply because some of our team weren't able to come for some of the days. Was strange having a smaller team than usual but it was do-able. 
Had another great day in Maia Neto teaching music on Tuesday followed by another vigorous capoeira class (starting to realy love it). 

We then had two strange days of admin (strange because the lack of team members), followed by a strange day in floca (we didn't have morning class because of a science fair and had half the students because most were going to do a big test called the vestibular this weekend). 

On the weekend we were then given the opportunity to talk on an internet radio channel about Pais. This first time we went was really good because we got to talk a lot about the specific Pais stuff and really get our message out there, but the second time it was really weird. There was about 20 people packed in the one wee room and we only got to say stuff every now and again. I did get the chance to sing on Radio though which was fun!

Also had an ordination in our church this weekend which was really cool. It was just a very joyful occasion, sorta like a wedding because people were crying and lots of people got to speak. 

Not a lot happened this week but was still great to be doing what im doing. In terms of prayer 


- my visa for after Christmas (long story but i was supposed to get it in 2 months it has now been 3 or 4)


- next year ( trying to figure out what I'm doing next year whether I'm staying here or going to uni or doing something else)

- The team (just pray that in the next month before Christmas we would work harder than we have yet so that we can bring people closer to Jesus)

- the kids in the schools (we've seen a lot of the kids coming to the church and being interested more in Jesus this last month so pray that as they lean forward we would be able to point them in the right direction)

- just me as I get ready to go home, that reverse culture shock would be too bad and that the work God is doing in me won't stop just because i go home.

Thanks so much for all the prayer and support
