This is our typical day here: we meet in our apartment living room at 9 am for a team devotional/prayer/meeting. At 9:20, we leave for the church building, walking about 2 miles in 25 minutes down sidewalks crowded with residents and through a beautiful park. We have reading sessions scheduled at 10 and 11, lunch from 12-2. Since it is an hour's walk round-trip to work, whoever is cooking lunch stays at the apartment during the morning to shop and cook. Today, that is Patrick and I. The team arrives for lunch about 12:45, we eat and clean up, then head back to begin reading again at 2. We have reading sessions until 8 pm. Any breaks we have are filled with meeting people on the street to hand out flyers, read, study, maybe even play a card game with team members and readers.
Please pray for our reading sessions today! This afternoon, one of my readers is Luciano, our van driver from the airport.
And now for the Big Moment: the traditional mission trip blog Elvis Sighting!!
This was in a little sandwhich shop on the way home last night. Ashton found it for me! The shop is owned by a man who knows no English but loves to throw in some German at us along with his Portuguese.
Auf weidersehen!

YAY! Elvis is still alive! What's for lunch, buta bita?
Kelli, I knew you'd be the one to comment on this one since you were waiting breathlessly for the Sighting. We're having baked chicken and potatoes with green beans. Can only have the other in Germany!
