Dead cow.

Well, the past two days have been pretty interesting. Yesterday and today, I spent time working on invitations, and went to town with Lizene and Kathy for the Dia da Familia. Tomorrow, the invitations will be passed out. While not designing invitations on Wednesday, I had the privilege to help a couple people cut up a dead cow. The whole cow. I even have a picture with the inside of it's neck. I might live on a farm, but I've never chopped up a dead cow! hahaha

Today, Gislaine and myself went to the church and got it semi set up for Sunday. Dia da Familia is at 9:30 am on Sunday (8:30 eastern). It begins with Sunday School-church-lunch-games. There will be games like 3 legged race, who can eat the most oranges, different relays, along with like a quiz bowl with questions of history, books of the Bible, etc. They will also get family pictures taken, which will be printed later and delivered.  Lets just hope it's not too cold! It's been around 60-70 degrees, but for people here, that's pretty cold!

Tomorrow is the 1 year celebration of the youth group at church. If you've heard me speak at church, you might remember me talking about a few years ago when the government came in and shut down the home. Well, it's basically like they had to restart everything. So, tomorrow is a year of having a youth group again!

Also, the judge has reopened the case from a few years ago. Now, the judge is saying that they don't like that Alpha Omega is a Family Development Center now. They had to get all their documents of proof from the past back together and have it ready by today to turn in to the government. They have a young, new judge in town who seems to "know it all", a long with some lawyer's that way, too. The same prosecutor from the past is still in the picture, too. But as someone put it, "if the people think there is a problem, they should come run it themselves." Which, a few years ago, people were going to come in and stay, but they were gone before dinner time.

I guess I'll end this post with a "Did you know?"

Did you know that if you ask for "bobby pins" at a store in Brazil, you'll be directed to the hair rollers? I didn't until today. Rollers here have the name "bobby". :)
