Brazil Update: Tiles, Feet, and Pizza

"So he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. ⁵ After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
⁶ He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”
⁷ Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.”
⁸ “No,” said Peter, “you shall never wash my feet.”
Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.”
⁹ “Then, Lord,” Simon Peter replied, “not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!”
¹⁰ Jesus answered, “Those who have had a bath need only to wash their feet; their whole body is clean. And you are clean, though not every one of you.” ¹¹ For he knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said not every one was clean.
¹² When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. “Do you understand what I have done for you?” he asked them. ¹³ “You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that is what I am. ¹⁴ Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. ¹⁵ I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. ¹⁶ Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. ¹⁷ Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them." - John 13:4-17 

The air was thick with dust and musty, a dust like smoke cloud hung in the air. We looked at the room and all I could think was "Wow... mom would freak if she ever saw this room!" 

So this morning we started to clean out a storage room they have here, what once was a nice, clean, neat storage room, had over time turned into a forgotten room with piles of old broken tile, random metal and glass pieces, and lots of old paint cans. We originally went to it to find some paint for a mural I will be painting, however we soon realized we needed to clean this room up. 
Savannah and I began by taking the broken tile and putting it in a pile outside, Mr.Rowe started building shelves for the paint cans, this went on all morning. 
Now your probably thinking, this isn't a missions trip! this is more of a cleaning job, well you see in the passages I chose for today, when Jesus washes the feet of the disciples, different side to Jesus' mission is shown. A mission of servant hood.  The feet in the New Testament times was one of the most dirtiest places on the human body, so for Jesus, a respected teacher, and the son of God, to do this was a big big thing!
You see as we were cleaning up the room, God was saying to me "Nathan, not all missions trips are building houses and preaching on random streets, some are simply having a servants heart and attitude." 
 In our faith, sometimes we are called to do the simple things, like clean a super messy storage room, or even smiling at every person we walk past on the side walk. We are not always called to go and shove Christ in there face, a simple, respectful and settle approach is always the best way. And how can we do that? by starting with our actions! 

Also on a completely different note, we went out to a Pizza place today, SO GOOD! Really different types of Pizza toppings, the picture is one with strawberries, chocolate, ice cream and chocolate sauce!
