Children's day (October 12) was a wonderful time with over 15 children from the Cajueiro Claro Living Stones spending the day at Word of Life with the reunion for all of the Community churches. It was amazing to see all the people that this ministry has touched over the years—the fruit of what God is doing in the different cities in Northeast Brazil.
The kids loved meeting new people and swimming (normally their one chance a year to swim in a pool instead of a lake). Rogerio gave each one of the kids a pair of shoes (many didn’t have any—just flip flops) and a toy, and while we were eating lunch, some of the families around us saw all the hungry boys and helped out with feeding them. Not only did we eat all of the food we had brought, but we ate everyone else’s leftovers as well.
I enjoyed playing mom to all my kids, making them put on sunscreen, and telling the boys not to run around like little hoodlums without their shirts on. They carefully put on their shirts anytime I made them take a break from swimming, but whenever they got the okay to go back, into the pool, their shirts would be off and flying at me with, “I love you Rachel” as they ran and dived in again.
