Sunday brought another day to worship with the main congregation here in the city. Calen and I joined Ceara and Travis this time and found the people very friendly and excited that we were here to work in the city. Bolo presented to the church and they prayed for us and the people that we would have an influence on. Ceara and Calen got to go to Sunday school and did well, it was good that they were able to be in the same class although Ceara acts as if she's always gone there, haha. Of course they are still learning Spanish and trying to understand what is going on but I think they both know more then they let on, especially Ceara, she remembers Portuguese enough that I think it's helping her with the Spanish.
After church we got to spend some time with Bolo, Jenny and their family. Now that the wedding plans are over and the work with LST that kept them very busy, they were able to take some time with us talking, sharing and just hanging out. Jenny hasn't been feeling well for awhile now and this past week was really struggling with her health. Finally though they saw a doctor who realized what she was being treated for wasn't really what she needed and ran some tests. She has some sort of bacteria in her body that makes it hard for her to eat and keep anything down. She's now on antibiotics and a strict diet to help with this. Hopefully this is what is really wrong and she can start feeling better (she already says she does). But please continue to pray for her as she deals with her health. But despite being sick she wanted to make us lunch, so we ate really good that day. It's always the basic rice, beans and chicken but very delicious. Travis tells Jenny every time that she should open a restaurant.
And of course no day would be complete without a game of soccer! No we did not play, however, Brazil was playing and so we sat around watching the game, the kids went out to play with the neighborhood girls and Jenny and I mostly chatted. Brazil lost the game but we say that is because Ceara and Calen were not watching, since they are really the ones who cheer for Brazil having been born there. The other day though was a harder game to watch as Brazil played Ecuador. Who do you cheer for? The place where you lived and brought kids into the world or the place you currently live? Well the kids picked their native land, I was undecided and I don't think Travis could decide either though for him, either one was good. Oh the things you end up talking about when you live in the land of soccer!
