Daycarecenter, family and Floreanopolis

Today we will go to Floripa, as they say here. Yesterday evening it was a terrible weather. Thunder and lightning all over the sky. Hope that it will be better weather today. Yesterday the girls (and also I a little when it was something they needed help with)worked volontary. We visited some children in the suburb and they cutted hair. The girls gave them some toys and I think that they enjoyed the moment. We also met a family that lived in the "mountain" and I thougth that it gave me and the others a lot. Per-Olof or Michael as his name here is was an exellent guide. When we visited the family it became a bit sad because they would like to keep him in Bluemenau. He and his family got a new mission up in the country and are leaving the town in may. They praied together before we left the family and then it felt better for them. A moment catched in real life...

Greetings from Joinville

Hi!
I'm so happy to be here in Joinville with Sirlene and her family. There are new experiences all the time. The wether changes faster here than I am used to. Sun, rain, sun, rain och so on. Today we visited the market there lots of people buy fish, vegetables, hurbs och beans. Sirlene helped me to buy some herbs special for Brazil. They smell just fantastic and now I must learn how to use them. I am so happy I have the possibility living in a brazilian family. That is the best way of learning.
Hugs from Carina

Brasilian- group 2 from Sweden

Today we had a really nice day at FURB. Walking around the university guided by Maicon, looking at campus 1 gave me and the group a lot of impessions. The library, the TV and radiostudio, the englishlesson with the children and Rita and so on... The generousity that came toward us when we arriwed was warm and in the Brasilian way. Talking for myself I got to meet my Brasilian son Edegar and it was like yesterday. When I huged him the warmth was spread in my heart.
