Back to the unemployment!

Hello guys! Here I am again! hehe...

Some good news and others not so good. The good news is that I'm health and doing very well. My school is not so good, but I'm enjoyng there. I have two teachers, one korean and other indian. There are people from everywhere in my class and heaps of brazilian.

Let's go to the not so good news. Since I got over I haven't worked, hehe... yeah, I kind of lost the job. However my boss called me yesterday and told me that we might work after next week again. So, it's being good to have a break but sometimes I get bored because there is nothing to do, hehe... anyway, I'm not complaining, I'm very grateful actually for all thing that have happened.

This week we went to a christian event here, I heard 10.000 people went there to see one guy. haha... his name is Mark Driscoll and he is a pastor in Seattle. It was very good, the theme was "Burn your plastic Jesus", basically he said about the Jesus people make up and what is the real Jesus. Lots of thing to chew over after that.

Yesterday (Saturday) we had a birthday party, we went to a park close to our house. Ahhh, it was Ruth's birthday, she was born here, but she has lived in Nigeria and now she is studying nursery here. It was very good and a different experience. We all went to this park and we played ball and had some food. Here they don't clap during the birthday song, can you imagine? Anyway, each one has your own culture.

okay? that's it. I'd like to thank you guys for your prayers and say that I miss you guys a lot. Family, friends, hoem, food and so on! haha...

See yaa!!

Half way done!

Hello everyone! I'm really sorry for my absense, but everything has a explanation! hehe... First of all! I'VE GOT A JOB!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! HEHE... Thanks guys for all prayers, I'm working in a construction site as a labour, known as "peao de obra" in Brazil, haha... it's a very hard job, but it's free gym during the job and quite funny! I'm mixing the cement, sand and water to make the concrete and after that we have to put the tiles, I've worked 2 weeks so far. And then I got sick last week, so I didnt work last week. It's very bad to get sick away from family, nobody is there to give you the medicine at the right time and spoil you. I reckon it was the worst and hardest experience so far. I missed a lot when I was spoilt by my mum, hehe...

Now it's gone and I'm waiting my boss calling, hopefully we might get back tomorrow. Meanwhile I'm enjoying this freetime! I went to a ReJesus festival, it is a kind of "Oficina 21", but it's for 2 whole weeks, pretty good to feel the unyversity environment here, very nice!

So, back to the past a few weeks ago, I went to Blue Mountains when my friends from Brisbane came here, that was fun, freezing cold, but still good!

That are the Three Sisters, pretty amazing view. We rode a cable car "bondinho", very high!! hehe...

I think in the other Friday, we went to a Rugby game! Freezing cold again! We watched the two best team, fighting for the top of the table!

That are us in the bus, coming back from the game! From the left, Myles (my roomie), James, Tim, Phill and me. Ahhhh, this day was the first day if the Olimpic, after that we went back to watch the Oppening Ceremony.

I reckon one week before this, we had the weekend away! It was a kind of a camp! We went down to the South Coast, to a place called Gerringong! Good to remember the camps I've been in Brazil. And just nice to be with a bunch of people and have fun.

That's a dance party, it was all dark actually. It was good the shake our body! hahaha...

Gerringong beach! Very nice beach and I guess even nicer in the summer!!! hehe...

So, back a little to the present, we are having prayer meeting every week now, at 7 am, not hard for me, because I wake up 5:30 to go to work. I've gone when I don't work. So, last Friday I joined the prayer meeting and after that we had a "pool time".

And that's us, in a pool close to our house! I don't know how they can do that, but the water was very cold. I just swam like 3 laps and got out of there! After that I was shivering and then I got sick, hehe... it's been one week since then, I'm all recovered and 100% ready to get back to work.

But this week off was good, because I could see a lot of the Olimpics and rest.

That's it guys, now you are all up dated! hehe... I hope I can keep you informed about my journey here more often.

One last thing I've been thinking a lot, yeah, now is the spiritual time! hahaha... I went to that ReJesus thing here and that day one guy from the World Vision was talking, and he said the biggest sin in Australia is hypocrisy. I'm not Australian, but that has made me think about my life and attitudes. Sometimes what we say is totally contrary what we do, isn't it? For me God is being so good and I've felt so close to Him, and eventhough all this awesome experience I feel like being hypocrite about my believes, my actions and so on. Not all but some parts and that is not what God wants from us, He doesn't want just a bit of my life, after all, Jesus didn't give just a bit of Him in the cross. This is being a trully struggle from me.

So, just keep praying guys for my issues and my job as well, because if I do well in my job I'll have more job afterwards! hehe...

Thanks for all guys!!! I hope you understand my absense!

As it's said in the title, "half way done", can you believe it? It seems I'm here for ages! But I looked at my calendar and I still have a long walk over here! So, so far so good! And I hope more amazing things will come!!!

See yaa! God bless you!!!
