They knew the songs in Portuguese that we'd practiced together all week before the preformance, but when it came time to sing in church, here's what happened...

Coffee & friends
Abigail likes her coffee in the mornings! She will really do well here in this coffee-culture!
Hope, Gracie, Atani & Abigail
Atani is an answer to prayer. She speaks English and Portuguese and the girls just love her. Atani has been playing with the girls and teaching them Portuguese at the same time. I have been surprised how comfortable Hope has become speaking Portuguese since she's been around her new friend! Last week Antani taught Hope the vowel sounds in Portuguese and both Hope and Abigail proceeded to play chase around the house screaming Portuguese vowel sounds to each other!

Chuck Preaches in Portuguese (1st Time)
Chuck gave a message on "Colheta Espiritual" (The Spiritual Harvest) to tell why starting new churches is important and how the existing churches should be involved in church multiplication.
He quoted Rick Warren: "We need all kinds of churches to reach all kinds of people."
The harvest is ready!
He used:
Matt. 9:37 "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few." and John 4:35 Jesus said, "I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields. They are ripe for harvest."
Here's a shot of Gracie watching him preach in Portuguese for the first time.

We're Not in the Suburbs anymore...
I am continually amazed at how it seems that all these little shops around us stay open - (that's because I'm a former "suburbanite".) But then I just look down the street and realize that there are literally thousands of people who live within a 4 block radius of my apartment.
This is the view from our balcony as I look down the street either way. Please pray that God would give us HIS strategy for how best to reach these apartment people for Christ!
