We are still keeping busy, thankfully Dave and I are both up to date with our assignments, but time flies and there will be more due in soon. It's good to be here, yet we would also like to be with everyone back home, and our thoughts and prayers drift there a lot at the moment.

We have lots of tropical wildlife to observe, if you thought that that spider was big you might not have liked the one that was too big to be trapped by a cut open 2litre bottle, yes it's legs were bigger (and fat and hairy) than the diameter of a 2litre bottle and it was looking at us in our lounge. Dave and Josiah like watching the little lizards gobbling moths and flies, but I don't like it when they walk across the window at night.

We're all getting used to the rice and beans diet (especially when we have a bit of doce de leite (caramel goo) too), but Gideon was thrilled to receive a little parcel from my Mum with stuffing mix in. All of the guys would love a Sunday roast, so, you people who have Sunday roasts, appreciate them!!

On Saturday, our team is going to evangelise in the red light district of Belo Horizonte, as it's a special day for women, and we want to show them how much God loves them. I'm not sure which one of us is going yet, but it sounds quite exciting.
