Things here are a little frustrating, we are working hard (all students are feeling like its a bit much), however, we are having to do extra things that we don't feel very well prepared for. Today we were told about our day on Sunday, it's called a day with God. We didn't realise that it is an open programme for all of the children who live on the favela. We are expecting maybe 250 children (low concentration span and difficult ones), and the DTS students need to organise part of the programme. It sounds like a bit like KidzKlub, so it should be fun, but I'm not looking forward to our 1 afternoon of preparation, where 21 different people (3 nationalities), try to decide what to do together. God will certainly teach us some stuff through it!!!!!!

Wow what a sunday you have got coming, you will get through it, you have managed so far, this is testing your faith, you have worked such a lot with children, not much different to holiday club. (except you did have much longer to plan it) I know you will do it, you have God to help you... Lots of love Mum

Have enjoyed 'catching up' on your news. Amazing how your experiences are so multi-layered, learning to work as a team with different cultures, within a different culture. The KidzKlub-type day, including planning for, sounds to be yet another challenge to prove The Lord's 'strength in weakness' for. Holiday Club here will seem like a picnic!! Love Mary W.
