I'm sorry, I don't understand.

What a week it has been. The past two days we have been in a favela just outside of Rio, called Costa Barros. More basketball, though I'm not having to play anymore. I actually translated an entire conversation today! (And had one only in Portuguese) Who would have thought that my first week here, I would do that?
I am amazed at the giving hearts of all these Belmont students. They do whatever needs to be done, when it needs to be done. They even played a little futebol (soccer) with some Brasileiros (Brazilians) today. I never understood how sports could open the door to tell people about Jesus, but now it is so clear -- everything that we do is an open door.
