Spring has sprung!!!

Hello guys!!!

As you can realize, we are in the spring already. This is good, now I can wear my pair of thongs and shorts everywhere I go, hehe...

One more week here in Australia. So, we had the monthly event organized by 80's. It was a Jazz Festival, my friend here plays in a band, so they came to play some jazz.

It was a very good time, some food, people around and as you can see, we had to dress up to rock up!! hehe...very fun, the venue was our own backyard. They will probably play in my roomie's wedding.

The church I'm attending here is very similar to ours, every Saturday, we are having a kind of sports ministry, we just go to a park here and play some sports, yesterday we played Ultimate Frisbie, I didn't like much, but it was alright. And the church over here is also concerned about the environment, last week they told us to bring our own cup to church to save some plastic cups. Realy good, reacting everywhere! haha...

So, we went to the beach yesterday. But this time we tried Manly beach.

We were a bit late, the sun was setting, but we could enjoy! Those above are, Karen, Ronnie and me. Very good, and the water was better than last week.

About my job, nothing yet. I did an interview in another graphic studio last week, I hope they can reply me this week. Beyond that I'm trying waiter's jobs and so on.

I hope I can find another job soon. hehe... It's a bit boring do nothing while everyone is doing something.

okay?!

See ya guys!!!

What a great weekend!!!

Hi people!

I'd like to tell you about this weekend, it was such a good one!

It all started on Friday morning, we had a massive attendance in the prayer meeting, 11 people I reckon. After that we had a breakfast shouted by Myles, thanks mate!

On Saturday morning we played sports: american football, brazilian football and australian football. Such a tiring morning, but it wasn't all. In the afternoon we went to Bondi Beach.

That's Bondi, amazingly crowded! That was good to get into the water, freezing cold one by the way. I hope it gets a bit warmer soon.

Very nice beach! There is a skate park as well. But I didn't bring my skate so I couldn't show my tricks. hehe...

At night we went to a pub and then we went to a little harbor close here and we stay there, chatting, good one by the way. Maybe we'll do a road trip, that'd be great!

On Sunday, there was the Brazilian festival. We went down there and had some brazilian food like pastel, chicken heart, and acai. To drink, sugar cane juice. Yummy!!!

On the way back we walked through this park below and we decided to take a rest on the grass. We also made a pyramid, first with girls on the top...

...and after with boys!!!

At evening we went to church, it was such a good preaching. I'm still chewing over the message, but the main thing was that we have to think that we are in debt with everyone, the debt to love one another.

I haven't worked, so I'm looking for a new job. Tomorrow I'll go around to hand some resumes and see if something come up.

This Thursday we have a monthly event, it's gonna be a jazz party. Oh yeahh!

Thanks for everyone who's read the posts!

Byeee!!!

Sick!

Don't worry guys! I'm not sick. Sick has a positive meaning as well. haha.... like, great or good.

That's my house mates with santa in the last monthly event! That was sick! We won the prize! hehe...

I have good news! I bought a computer, so now I'll try to post some videos and talk with people by Skype! So, add me if you have one, if not download it! My nick is "ameixaounao", okay?

However my job is being a bit irregular, this week for instance I worked only one day and I don't know how is gonna be next week. What I can say is that I'm trusting in God and is in his hands all this stuff! And the best thing is that I know that He will take care of it!

This Sunday there will be a Brazilian Festival here, that's gonna be good, I'll go and I'll probably be back a bit fatter! hehe.... there will be all sorts of brazilian food! So, you can you imagine! hehe...

okay! I'll try to make some videos to post!

See ya guys!!

GO SMOKO BOYS!!!

Hello people!

Heaps of thing have happened lately! I feel like living the fullness here!
So, I'll tel you about how is my routine over here! Basically when I'm working I wake up about 5:45, get to work by 7 and finish about 3. Monday and Tuesday nights I have classes, Wednesday nights is a bible study, Thurday is free to hang out and Friday we have connect, the student group at the church. As I said before, once a week we have a house dinner, where everyone or everyone that can show up, have dinner together and every week one of us has to cook. So, before last week was my turn to cook.

So, I cooked some rice, beans, potato, chicken and farofa!!! Looks good, isn't it? hehe... It was eatable.
There we are! it's missing Myles, Timmy and Jimmie, but we kept something for them.

OKay, last Monday we had the monthly event organized by girls in 64. It was kind of Christmas out of season or whatever! Very fun, each house had to organise a presentation and the best would win a prize!

Guess who won?! our house! hehe...Smoko boys! I don't really know what smoko means, but we sang a music with this in the middle! So, we got the prize that is a desert someday that I don't know yet!

Besides all these activities, sometime we just go out to hang out together in a pub or park.

We had the engagement party this Saturday. It was very good! It's a shame a forgot my camera, so no photos of that event! hehe... and I also lost some photos because my usb died. that was crap. But, that's okay! Nothing to complain.

We are having a chinese festival soon, in about one hour here, and next week there will be a brazilian festival here. So I can eat all brazilian food I miss! hehe...

See ya guys!!!

Ahhh, no spiritual talks this time. hehe... but I'm very good with God. And very glad for his care with me over here.

Byee!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!

I'm not crazy. Here they celebrate the father's day on the first Sunday of September, which this very year is also the Indepency Day of Brazil! hehe...whatever...

So, I'd like to wish a happy father's day for the dads and thank my Dad for being such a good Dad! hehe... okay Dad?!

Okay, let's go to the news! Fortunatelly or unfortunatelly I've gotten my job back and I'm going to work tomorrow. I haven't told you what time I work, have I? I work from 7am to 3pm.
So, I wake up 5:30 to get there on time depending on the place! hehe...

I could relax a lot this week, so I did some readings, assignements and went out a bit.

One place I went was the Doulos, it is a ship that goes around the world bringing the gospel. That was really exciting. As they told us, it is like a dream. I've heard a lot about mission here and I heard a lot before left Brazil. That has made me think about how we should spend our lives here.
Anyway, it was a very good time, there are people from more than 50 countries on board. It must be a awesome experience be on board this ship!

Those above are my friends, from left, Heid, Ruth (who turned 21) and Becky. We got lost to find the ship, but it was quite fun.

okey dokey? I'm going now! I hope I can keep posting, if you don't see any movement over here, that's because I'm too tired. hehe... see ya guys!

And again! Happy father's day!!!!
