Self-Control and Creativity

Living Stones has begun our character program, with Self-control last week, and Creativity this week.  Sara, an older girl from the Cajueiro church, has been volunteering with us. It is her dream to work with drug addicts someday. Raissa is also volunteering, walking with Flavio and I (Rachel), and bringing along a lot of enthusiasm and energy. Here is our classroom:

The children practiced all week to present at church on Friday (in Cajueiro, Sunday church didn't work so well on Sundays. It works better on Fridays). And they did a wonderful job.

 There were over 30 people there, almost half of them being children from Living Stones. The woman in the front row right--Sandra--just gave her life to Jesus last week.

This week we also began the jewelry making project. The children learn how to creatively make jewelry and crochet, and for every one piece that they create, they make one to send to the United States. If you would like to receive one of these creations, to raise prayer and financial support, please contact Rachel at amobrasil99@hotmail.com

The kids are not only enjoying the jewelry making, but are learning basic English: this week we played Candyland—and you had to say the colors in English before moving to a space.

 In Paudalho where the children are still located in the open center of town, the character program and jewelry making were a welcome change from the lack of activities available.

Please keep the Easter and Mother’s day programs in your prayers. If you would like to help financially to give the kids something special for one or both of these celebrations, you can donate at www.wribrazil.com .
