slow internet...

today...the internet is being extra slow...i think ben is eating up the bandwidth...
we are going out to alter do chao this afternoon with the two new short termers. they are gonna be here for two weeks...
we had the encontrinho last weekend...it was a ton of fun...y'all know how much i love kids, so i had a blast! they all thought i was hilarious cause i'm so goofy. i was dancing around all the time and they just loved to laugh at how little portuguese i know...i know a bunch of phrases that are completely useless, and i love to say them just to make people laugh...
i really do understand a lot...i just can't speak it...it's hard...
anyways...sorry for not updating. i've tried a couple of times, but with the internet...it's hard.
yesterday, we worked at a church that was just an hour and a half drive away...it was a lot of fun...i am a pro painter now. we had to paint straight lines around windows that had already been painted with very unstraight lines. it was fun...we did a lot of just smaller tasks with the construction...and had a blast doing it...
i'm pretty tired...i stayed at silvia's house last night...and we had to get up at 6 to be at prayer at 6:30...can you believe that i get up every morning and am some place...awake...at 6:30 am??
i'm turning over a new leaf! :)
it will be good for me though...it will help me get into my crazy schedule this fall...i gotta get used to the early mornings...
i'm thinking about talking up walking in the early mornings for exercise...if anyone wants to join me this fall! :)
hmm...it's been hot here...y'all will laugh at me in michigan cause i'll probably think it is so cold after adjusting to the heat here...i probably will think it's too cold to swim!
ok...i love to swim...i probably won't think that...
i looked at a bunch of the snapfish pictures that y'all sent. the babies are all so cute...i can't wait to see them! they seem like they've grown so much...
jay is a stinkin' babe...but i know y'all already know that...
umm...hmm...the rest of my time here is going to be stinking busy...i have an opportunity to go on a survey trip for a new base...which would be an absolutely amazing experience...but it would cost more...and it would eat up a lot of the rest of my time here. and i love this city and the people here...so it would be sad for me to be gone for so long...
i guess i'll just have to wait and go on a survey trip once i move here!
well, i think we are heading down to the office to get some money here pretty soon...and sally's computer is about to die...
love y'all! miss y'all!
later,
b
