Week 9





Welcome to May. The month we celebrate families here in Brazil. We kicked off the month with an all day cook-out/picnic with our church on Saturday. A wonderful day of fellowship and a lot of Portuguese.

Also this week we acquired our cpf number, similar to the social security number in the US. We got our first bill... the electricity bill. It was extremely extremely high! We figured something had to be wrong. It just so happens that our frig has been going out sometimes and the repairman came and fixed it. Our AC has yet to work so the renaissance man that works for our language school came out to convert two 110 outlets to make a 220 outlet so that our AC would finally work. So two months after getting used to the weather we really don't need an AC, but we have one. I know we'll use it one day.

Thursday was a night out for me (Emily). I had planned to attend a seminary class, but plans changed and I ended up at the best pizza place in town. One of our professors owns the place. It really was good pizza! Friday night Sara babysat for us while we went to a friend's home for dinner. We are thankful for their patience in our language and culture. They helped us understand a little more about the church here.

Karis continues to enjoy new foods. We are so grateful that she is a good eater because she didn't start out that way. We tried to take her swimming, but she wasn't having it. The pool was a little cold so I don't blame her. She is almost crawling. She will get up on all fours and rock back and forth. She continues to attract people with her smile every where we go.

Her facial expressions are hilarious! I love that last picture. Glad to hear that she's eating well - have you tried avocado yet? That's always a winner with L.
