Yogurt Evangelism

Please meet Camila. She is a precious young woman who works at the Yogoberry around the corner. When we walked in last week, she looked up and started to ask if she could help us. Patrick waved and smiled and she dissolved into giggles, recognizing us from our visit in March. She speaks no English at all except "hello" and "goodbye" but is taking Spanish and loves to throw a little our way to see if we understand that any better than Portuguese.

I'd like to share with you a love note she brought outside to us (after having a co-worker write it)as we were eating our yogurt last night:

Dont go away
We like a lot yours.
Keep in Brazil.

Now, keep in mind that our only contact with this girl is purchasing yogurt 3 times, 3 months ago. Then we've been there twice in the last week, inviting her and her co-workers to our Bunko party which they did not attend. We have never had a conversation with her due to the language barrier. Just goes to show you how far a smile can go.

Yesterday, we were able to introduce Camila to Carrie Gotcher who CAN have a conversation with her. Wonder what God will do with that?
