After a hard day's work and play yesterday, we awoke to cloudy skies this morning. Sure enough, it started raining as we ate breakfast. Your dedicated workers started sanding the walls of the girls' dorm despite the weather. With the help of about a hundred kids, we finished that step and moved on to cleaning and the actual painting. We finished putting the first coat of paint on the seven rooms and the hallway at about two in the afternoon. The food is even more scrumptious and the kids are so much fun and helpful! We've been working hard, playing hard, and learning a ton.

Oi (Portuguese for `hi´) from Mom, Tyler, Dalton, and Gracie! I miss you so much and can´t wait to see you once again - I love you. --Angela

Mom, I'm eating my vegetables. --Ella
Judy and Roger: I talked them into putting your name on the blog; you're now famous. --Tara
Bret: Wish you were here experiencing what we are. Having a great time despite the rain today. --Amy
Juao Paulo, Cheyenne, Gabriela, and Bia around Bruno.

A typical evening after dinner -- enjoying conversation and lots of laughter in the courtyard.
