Churrascaria....what?

So as a team we went out to a churrascaria. It is probably the best thing that has ever been invented. If you can imagine a train of meat just coming to you. All different types, all delicious. That was the experience that I was able to have this last Friday. I had about 10 different types of meat that night. It was expensive, but I'll be a happy poor man. The best thing that they had was called pequena, which is the backside of the cow. Very tender, juicy, awesomeness all rolled into one. The worst thing they had there was probably the chicken hearts. Real chicken hearts. I saw a ventricle and decided not to eat it. Everyone I might have eaten is one chicken that had to die and I couldn't do that (even though I love the rest of the part of the chicken).


On campus things are going well. We've seen a lot more people trust God in their lives, which is pretty stinking neat. I have talked to a couple of students this week already who want to know more about Alpha e Omega. It is hard on our campus to talk to students too because they like to think that they are Christians, but they are missing some ideas about who Christ truly is and what He has done for us. In the short of it, we talk about four laws:

1. God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life
2. Man is sinful and thus separated from God, thus he cannot know and experience God's love and plan for his life.
3. Jesus Christ is God's only provision for man's sin.
4. We must individually receive Jesus as our Lord and saviour to experience God's love and plan

Along the way, most students agree. However, they stop believing when it comes to #3. Most like to believe that it takes things that we can do to reach Heaven or God. But Christ says in John 14:6, "I am the way, the Truth, and the Life; No one comes to the Father except through me."

So it can be hard to get past that, but other than that it is pretty cool. As I've said Brasilians are cool and they like to hang out with us and to get to know us. So normally it is no problem.

As for pictures, well, I am trying to upload them both here and on facebook. The Internet here is slow and I am unable to do so for the most part. I can sometimes get pictures on here, but it doesn't work most of the time. So bare with me.

This upcoming weekend is our mid-project break. We will be going to a beach and staying at a resort. It will be welcome. The thing about Sao Paulo is that it is big. It smells very badly. There are cars everywhere (I had my life flash before me several times now cause of the crazy drivers). So this vacation will be nice. Don't get me wrong though, I still love Sao Paulo, it would just be nice to see a beach.

We also go to a Presbyterian church while we are down here. They rock, literally. They worship like nothing I've ever seen. Their songs are so passionate and full of life. The people are just the same. They are loving and compassionate. I have received several hugs from random strangers while we have attended. It is pretty neat.

Well, that is all I really have for you all for right now. I will try to get pictures up, but so far I have tried three times to get one picture up and it is not happening. Now I am watching the American movie "Doom," from my TV room, it is pretty distracting. Go Rock, go.

Once again, if you have questions, please ask. I will do my best to answer them. Till then, farewell.
