Easter here in Brazil was wonderful. I spent Saturday up at the orphanage with all the kids. They had visitors from Rio de Janeiro come and offer their support. It is always nice to see how the community helps the children at Casa do Caminho. Zeca, a famous Brazilian singer, brought huge chocolate eggs for all the children. The generosity here is amazing! So many people help and so many more want to if they could.
After lunch we took all the kids down to the river to play for a while. It was really nice to cool off on such a hot day. Plus what kid doesn't love to play in the water?!
This is what happens when you let children take pictures with your camera... they make me laugh
This is the view along the road up to the orphanage. The rolling mountains are breath taking, and everything is just so green!
On Sunday I was able to go to church in Caxias, the next big city. It is a great ward filled with wonderful people. In the afternoon it was nice to go around and visit all the children and families I love here.
But my favorite things about Easter was being able to talk with my family. I love my family so much and it was really nice to hear their voices again.
