Arraia (ahaya) or Hoedown Night

Tonight we went to an annual party called an Arraia or country party. People dress up like country folk and dance and there are fair games for the children like go fish and ring the bottle.  We got to me some of the kids that will be at camp. It is tough with the language and yet we are meeting more and more people who speak enough English. The warmth and love of the people are comforting as it helps get through the language differences. Mostly we are connecting with the counselors and feeling very welcomed. Tomorrow we have church at 10am. I have the honor of speaking via a translator. Pray for me.  So grateful to be here!  Jeff
