It's Thursday morning and the kids are in clase de biblia (bible class) and counselors are enjoying a much needed break! This morning we enjoyed being apart of the singing devotional praising God in two languages. It truly is amazing to hear the Brazilians sing songs in Portuguese...even if we don't understand the language we all are praising the same God.
We have learned so much in such a short time and have grown in our gratitude for the little things at home/ The Swamp. Like asking a camper to go to sleep and knowing they understand you even if they don't listen.... Or asking a camper what they would like to do and understanding their response. Despite the language barrier, we feel like we have established a Swamp atmosphere here in Brazil. The Brazilian campers are so outgoing and fun! They love to dance and move their hips! And they are the most open and beautiful people you will ever meet. Their beauty is probably due to the fact that they like to shower multiple times a day - much different than the Swamp! It has been a joy to get to know them and we are confident that South America will have a fun and impactful camp for many years to come.
