Day 3 of Mission Week
After a breakfast of ham, cheese, papaya, cereal, Brazilian cheese buns (which are delicious), fresh baked rolls and your choice of peach or grape juice, milk, tea, and strawberry yogurt drink we headed down to the parish for Via Crucis (the stations of the cross). It was a beautiful experience as we circled the parish with a large wooden cross and the warmth of God`s love (though the sun was strongly present as well).
Definitely one of the highlights of the day was the big soccer match. It was the event that the parish has been excitingly describing to us all week. The Brazilian`s really take their football seriously. They had let us borrow real team uniforms to wear, and they blasted music and booked the public field for us to use. The Brazilian girls won 2-1 against the Power Rangers (which consisted of Tobago, Trinidad and Canada). Surprisingly, the Tigers (Tobago, Trinidad and Canada) boys team won in their game through a shootout! Did I mention that they had to borrow a Brazilian player? He was their goalie. One thing we had in common was that we were playing for the Lord, God`s Team!
It was such a fun day! An article is anticipated to come out in the next few days in the local Guarulhos newspaper!
Signing off, Stephanie Nguyen and the IC Delta Pilgrims!
