So at the request of my niece I was asked to make a couple of corrections to my previous blog entry. It was actually her uncle who while jumping up and down in the ocean accidentally dropped her in a wave but with his cat like reflexes was able to scoop her back up in an amazing .25 seconds, but alas she still started to belt out an awful cry but it was only because she was scared not due to injury. I was also informed that her daddy at a busy weekend putting up her new playhouse and she loves it. Sarah sent out a couple of videos which I will post on Facebook tonight.
This weekend was an extremely busy one for me. Saturday ran 11k with some friends in my building, had our standard coco water after the run, then we went out to a cafe to plan our upcoming trip in the beginning of September. We are heading to the Northeast of Brazil to Sao Luis and Lencois Maranhenses (if you get time to google it do so and you will be amazed at the pictures). After that we headed out for a couple of beers and then went go karting with another group of people. I think by the time I finally arrived home it was about 8 or 9 pm and was just wiped. Sunday we went to the park again and got in about 6k and then had a quick workout in the gym, coco water, and then I headed to my first church service in Portuguese. It was actually what I could understand a nice service and good worship. I am going to go back on Saturday night or Sunday morning this week again and this weeks task in my class will be to translate and study the bulletin so I can understand more of the readings and worship.
Sunday afternoon was another trip to the super market to get more food and utensils for the lady to cook and clean with, went to an Arabian restaurant yesterday for lunch with some other friends and he actually had tickets to the futebol game yesterday afternoon so I experienced my first futebol game live. I cannot even express how many bad words I heard from kids and parents alike. It was a pretty interesting experience. If we used that language even in the bleachers at Wrigley we'd be asked to leave. Last night a friend in my building had his brother and a friend in town from the states and he hosted a Churrasco in the party room so we had some great meat, cheese, and other food. All in all it was a great weekend and one where you feel like you need a weekend from your weekend, but great to have friends and other things to do and people to hang out with and build new friendships.
Hope this entry puts me back in the good graces with Madeline and gives everyone an update on the weekend.
Tchau
