Started classes

In my need to learn Portuguese I began attending a module class here at the Seminary.  It is an advanced Portuguese class on Composition of Texts.  Needless to say, but I don't understand very much.  I am however being exposed by immersion to the Language and I can say I am exhausted by the end of the day from all the thinking and trying to comprehend that I have done during the day.  I am learning new words and phrases daily and I get opportunities galore to use my new knowledge.  Thank you to all of you who are praying for me to learn the language, I am slowly learning, but have a long way to go.
 I went to a camp for the Association of Regular Baptists with Roque and Adriana last week.  I met many brothers and sisters in Christ many of which are pastors of local churches throughout the state of Ceara.
 Here is a beautiful view of the pond on sight, full of beautiful lily pads and flowers.
 We had beautiful weather to enjoy God's handiwork, as all the buildings are open air with only roofs to shade from the sun.  With mosquito repellant for the night we faired quite well.
 This is where we slept.  I slept in the red hammock, with Adriana next to me and Roque on the floor.  There was another family in 3 hammocks next to ours in the same room.

Thanks for keeping up with me, if you want to know more please comment or contact me!
God Bless,
Joy
