I cant believe how fast time is flying…
Simon, Kids and I
this week the weather was really crazy and I was kind of in a bad mood…I didnt want to do anything, just wanted to sit around at home…but thank God the weather got better and the sun came out for a while (which helped my motivation a lot!) As said before, rain always messes up our whole day. All the kids are excited because they don’t have to go to school and we have to entertain all the kids (150ish) the whole livelong day. But luckily they are very easily entertained. We set up a pingpong table, some movies and gave them some pebbles. The kids love to play a little game called „cinco Marias“ – five Marias.
The Jornalzinho group bought a digicam and are now taking pictures of everything, everybody and in every weird pose. So the small ones are going nuts for being on a picture.
Just five pebbles one of which they throw in the air, trying to complete some tasks with the rest of the pebbles while catching the first stone again. Another fun game here is trash-can-basketball…:-)
This guy is a really intelligent kid from my PC course. He is also the one who took the pictures of the other kids for the Jornalzinho.
This weekend Simon, Carine, Sabine and I were invited over for a farewell dinner at the mission area. It was the farewell dinner for a German couple (the Schrecks) that stayed in Brazil for 4 months, helping out at all the stations of the ETB. It was too bad, though, that it rained all day Sunday and we had to take the car…which is easier to say than to do in these days… I got soaked wet just running to the car! Imagine how fun it was to drive on the (unpaved!), dirty and slippy road up to the mission! It was kind of like driving on ice!
Well I hope for better weather and hopefully you are all doing well…in the rainy/snowy states…
See you then, Dominik
