August Pictures

Team Picture
This is the beach football team that Brent and I play on. The Niteroi Corsarios.
4/5
4 of the 5 guys on our team. There are some great hiking trails just a 45 minute bus ride away from our neighborhood. This is a pic from one rainy Friday afternoon in August. There is a massive monolith that overlooks the bay and we plan to climb it the next time the guys get together.
Slippery
Rock climbing sliding.
4th
At the 4th of July party the guys got together and played some beach soccer. Some Brazilian teens joined our game and enjoyed laughing at the Gringo style of play. Actually Ben and Nathan have spent enough time here to actually be considered good. Brent’s speed helps him compete. Zane and I pretty much just push people around.
Package Arrives!
This package had peanut butter in it. We cannot buy pb at our local grocery store so it’s exciting to receive it in the occasional care package. This may appear to be manufactured excitement but I assure you that the pb was opened in a matter of minutes.
Friends
Paula our friend/language teacher (left), Deborah (friend) celebrated Paulás birthday with Brent, Jill, Carrie and I.
Team Survey
I’ll be including more info about our team survey in the upcoming monthly report but this is a pic taken before we interviewed 200 people in the park one Saturday morning. The interviews went really well and the info obtained in them should help us have a better feel for the neighborhood where we are planting the church.
Mom & Dad
My parents came down to visit and we had an excellent time showing them around Niteroi and Rio. I’ll put a video of our trip on the blog in the next week or so. It was so great to have them here.
Carrie & Charbelle
This is Charbelle another language teacher and friend. We have enjoyed spending time with and getting to know her and her husband Sergio. This picture was taken at Charbelle’s birthday party.
