Little update



So amazing to have sweet friends in the área.  Doug went to college with Rogerio and came to Brazil with him about 20 years ago. Rogerio and Susan lived in São Paulo working for Athletes in Action for years....we were shocked when the Lord brought them to Recife área too. We were able to finally see them this week (it took almost 3 months)...what a great day!

Roman was counting the closepins in Portuguese...so fun.  It rained for a few days and gave us a little relief from the heat and a chance to catch up on laundry (no pool time).

Well, we are trying to get everything possible ready for the container to arrive, so we made a big shopping trip.  We have been hearing about "Atacadao".  This is where a huge majority of people go to make a once a month shopping trip.  Honestly, it is exasperating to even go to the grocery store and this way we can save time, Lord willing, and buy bulk. There were 4 carts and 2 other people went to help us.  Our aunt´s maid went with us to teach me about what to buy and how to plan. It was almost an event.

It was so exciting to fill the pantry...it was a family event.  We feel so blessed.  Although, I do miss Lucy´s kitchen! Hoping to not have to go to the store for months!!!!

 
Laundry room ready to go. 
 
 
Solomon had his first field trip.  He was so excited. I was able to sneak on the bus and check him out-he looked a little scared to me. He is such a big guy now and loves his schoolwork.
