I watched the ball roll between his feet, like water smoothly running over rocks in a stream... and all I could think was, "Man I am really loosing this Soccer game... :/"
So today was the first day! Was really good, however I am probably going to be so fit by the end of these two weeks. My whole afternoon was dedicated to playing sports/games with some local kids, at first with young ones (10-14) then with two who were 14 and 16.
The older guys, who were named John and Dan, were really really good at Soccer, I got super owned... but oh well they had fun playing with the "Weird Canadian." It was actually super awesome, after 2 hours they figured out I don't speak Portuguese.
This Conversation is my paraphrasing and what I figured they were saying to each other;
Dan: "John, does he speak Portuguese?" Dan points at me
John: "Hey! do you speak Portuguese?" I look at him puzzled
Me: "what?"
John looks back at Dan: "No he doesn't"
They both laugh and continue playing
So in Summary, today was really good, thank-you for your prayers, even though we cannot speak the language here, the kids and people, I know, can clearly see Christs light through us. Please continue to pray for us as we head into the rest of the next 2 weeks!
God bless
