Wow I really thought that I would be better at keeping a blog... hmmm guess I was wrong haha :) sorry....
I have been in Dourados (another city about 4 hrs away from Campo Grande) since last friday and I'm not sure exactly when I will be leaving from here hahaha Like everything else in Brasil, it is all up in the air...
On Sunday, I helped with a program for innercity kids here called "Projeto 'Adamá" - this church travels to different neighborhoods here and work with the kids on sunday afternoons. They dance, sing, teach them about the Bible, give them treats, etc. It's really cool and was a joy to help with. I've also been exploring a lot of the city and everyone is so great and friendly here. I have people arguing about where they want me to stay at haha so it's real cool...
The last few nights, I've been staying at my friend Pâmela's house and she lives in a nice apartment on the top floor with several balconys with exquisite views of the city... and this is where I have been spending my time lately haha. It's so beautiful, especially at night. I find myself alone sometimes, just sipping water from my coffee cup (haha) and staring out in to the night sky, at the city line and all the stars in the sky... And I feel torn... part of me feels like I never want to leave here and that I will never be able to recapture everything I've seen and experienced here and I'll miss everything too much... and then another part longs for home and my friends and family... haha but i guess that's normal right? ;)
5 weeks... well technically am i at 4 weeks now? i guess so haha... crazy how fast time flies when you're not looking... but yay, i'm glad to see everyone soon - i miss you all... i am especially excited about seeing my little sister and her swollen belly!!!!!!!!!!! :) i want to meet willow madelyn NOW! haha it's hard to see pictures from the internet but not be able to really watch and help her through this, my first niece... i am TERRIBLY EXCITED!!! :)
