Too good to be true!

Hello guys!
It's been a long time since my last post, hasn't it?

Last week was very good! Thousands of people came to Australia for the World Youth Day 2008. The Pope came, lots of different nations, the whole city seemed a big party. And I couldn't be out of it! After all, I haven't got a job yet! hehe... So, as you know I joined the Brazilian soccer team and we were doing well until the quarter-final, we lost to Austria! hehe... it's true, Austria and the champions were the Croatians, they were like 2 meters high, haha... It was very similar to when I played in the Church Tournament. We had fun, we played hard, we did well in the beginning, but in the end we lost! hehe... Anyway, we had fun and we could enjoy it!


The Brazilian group! I know that was not very good for my English this day, but it was very good for me! hehe... We took this pic after the game against New Zealand, there are some of them among us.


Still during the World Youth Day, some of my friends from Brisbane came here to make a tour throughout Sydney. James, Leo and Justin. We went to some places here and we met people from everywhere!

Here we were in Darling Harbour, there was happening a kind of concert. Some guys from Scotland were playing. After this picture we got into the crowded! haha... it was nice! I'll try to up load the video after if I can!

Yesterday, I went to a job interview, but no answer so far! Maybe I'll get in the labor job! hehe... But I have to get a kind of permission to work in it.

Ahhh, and my roomie got engaged yesterday! hehe... his name is Myles and he is 19. He got engaged and is very happy! haha... maybe they will marry in January!

That's it guys! Now you are updated about here!

I really miss our country,family and friends, and now that is July, I reminded the EBFs. Ohh, great time there, hehe... since I was 7, this year is the first time that I couldn't go! I knew already that the EBF Teen was very good and I wish lots of blessings in the EBFs kids!

See yaa!!!

Soccer! I love this game!

Hello guys! So many things happening this week! Have you heard about the World Youth Day in Brazil?! It's being here right now in Sydney, all this week. People from every part of the planet have come here just for this event and the Pope is gonna be here as well.

About my life! No job yet, but... I saw two advertisements very close to my house and I applied there already, let's pray and wait for any answer, besides that I've left my resumes in other places and in a recruitment agency! Hopefully something will come up soon!

I went to the Oliroos (Olimpic Australian Soccer Team) game against New Zealand. They won by 3x2, good game. Very nice, we watched the game seated on the hill, no chairs or benchs! hehe...

I haven't downloaded the pics of this World Youth Day and the game, so I let you with another view of the Opera House! hehe...


This city is going crazy because this Pope stuff and the World Youth Day. So, I'm very curious, so this Tuesday I was walking around to look for a job, and I saw a bunch of people going toward the Uni near my house. I went there to have a look what was happening and guess what? I talked with a woman from New Zealand and she told was happening a Soccer Tournament between the nations that came to this World Youth Day. Then I became more interested! hehe... Getting to the tournament site, of course there were brazilian! So, I started to talk with then about this World Youth Day and these Pope thing, we had a good talk. They invited me to play in the Brazilian team and what could I do? I said yeah!!! Of course! We beat New Zealand in the first match by 3x0 and Holland in the second by the same score. Now we are in the finals, which will be happening tomorrow! hehe... All this soccer thing remind me the Futsal Cup between the Methodits Churches, which is gonna happen soon.

So, I can say that God is being very good about the things I've missed. I mean, in my birthday He gave me a family to celebrate together, during my journey here He's put friends to cheer me up in the hardships! And even now, about this soccer thing, he gives me this delight to enjoy! This is trully amazing to realise His care! I think He really gives us what we need and not what we want! Although I also need a job! hehe... But as I've been saying, it's gonna happen!

okay guys!!! I hope I can post pics about all this stuff I told you! hehe...

See yaa!!!

Nice vacation for those who are in, great EBFs for are going and all the best for everybody who has read this posts!

Byee!!

Getting close!

Hey guys!!!

After my last post, it happened something crazy. I went to a graphic studio to leave my resume then I was talking with the designer if there was any job available, she said no, but she gave me a hint that she was working in another place and no one had taken the job. So, I went to this place to chec. I talked with the owner and we did some job to test me. It was good, I could do the job, but the communication was not that good, very diffcult to understand the technique terms in English. I kept there, but I've already quit. For two reasons. Firstly, my boss was a jerk, he wanted to explore me, the girl who gave me this contact warned me about this. He just gave me a list of what I had to do and went away. During this period the phone didn't stop to ring and always everybody was asking for him, anyway too much stress, I couldn't do my job properly. Secondly, I realised that this design thing is not what I want to do as a job. I mean, I like to do that, but not everyday eight hours a day. You know? Summarizing, I'm looking for a job still! hehe... I did the RSA course, which allowed me to work in bars and pubs. So, hopefully I'll get something soon.
All this stuff makes me think, my last post I said about that "All things God works for the good..." and when I kind of get the job, I thought was an answer, but not. After that I got a little upset with God, but I'm understanding what he wants to teach me. And I'm getting close to get a job, I reckon...hehe...
Okay?!
Ahhh, my friend George came here this week and we did a nice tour throughout Sydney. Opera House, Bondi Beach, Manly Beach, Ferry, Harbour Bridge and so on! I've posted some pic in my orkut and these are some of them as well!
See yaa guyss!!!

ALL THINGS!!!

"And we know that in ALL things God works for the GOOD of those who LOVE Him." Romans 8:28

When I was planning my trip to Australia, I wanted to come here, learn some English, get to know a different country, international friendships, get a work, save some money and travel aroung in the end.
After 4 months, these aims are going pretty much well except for a job. I haven't got a job so far. But I have get so many other things that I hadn't planned. Thinking about this I start to understand
a little about what Paul meant when he said "...in ALL things God works for the GOOD of those who LOVE Him." And I do love God, so I have nothing to worry, I trust in Him adn I know that it's gonna happen what God thinks is good for me. I'm not giving up to find a job. I'll keep looking for, but aware of God's power.

It's being such a spiritual post so far, isn't it? hehe...

Let's talk about my new life down here! So, I'm living in a house with ozzy students. There are six house from the church called Barneys.


The church is very nice, lots of youth and is quite similar from "IMeL Saude". So, it's been cool, we go out together just to hang out and have some fun. Once a week, we have a dinner everybody together and one of us has to cook, so I'll have to cook in each 8 weeks!
Now most of them are on holiday, and some of them went back to their home. It's pretty empty now. But hopefully when the classes are back the is gonna be full again!
okayy!?!!

Ahhh, the pic is from my house here! hehe...

Thank you guys who are reading this and thank you for your prayers!!!

see yaaa!!

byeee!!!
