Wednesday - Kids camp day number 2

Four team members got the opportunity to go to the grocery store this morning with Julie to see what a grocery store looked like in Brasil.  It was very similar to the states, except for the language of course.  It was hard to tell what anything was.  They also didn't have a huge variety of some things.  We went to a store like Sam's Club as well.
The rest of the team got to go hiking up the mountain nearby the seminary.  We drove a little ways to get to the start of the trail and then hiked in about a mile to some rocky cliffs.  We climbed around on the rocks and viewed the city from on top of the mountain.  There were some very beautiful flowers and different types of trees and foliage.
 

Typical lunch, rice and beans with a side of meat and some cooked veggies.  Here is is Manioc root (similar to potoes)  They eat lots of starch here.

After the hike we came back and had a quick lunch and then we were off to the kids camp.  We had about 60 kids today.  Troy, Lindsay, and Amber Miosi lead games, the ladies help with crafts, and the rest of the teens join the groups while going from class to class.  It is similar to a VBS, but only in Portugese.  We had our task cut out for us when we tried to teach a craft to 60 kids while not speaking the language.
When the kids camp was over we walked/drove to some of the kids home.  The kids are starving for attention and hanging on the teens constantly.  They were so excited to have us come visit their homes. 

We also had an evening service at their church at night.  A rain storm came in the middle of church so we had to pick up our chairs and move into a classroom since the church service takes place in an open air pavilion.  We were tired by the time we got home.  Thursday is the last day of kids club and then we will start with our English camp.
