Not exactly weekly, but we are working on it:). Here are my favorite pics that John took:

"The second week here we got more settled into a routine, and we had a special Easter service that included breakfast at Cajueiro Claro. Here, it seems that Easter is more celebrated by eating--and they don't normally have Easter egg hunts. I helped out Caid and Rachel hide 12 eggs--I would hide them while Rachel was telling the Easter story. It was fun to watch the kids find the eggs.

On April 3rd we went and picked up the Shelbyville group from the airport. While they were here we were much more busy. It was nice to be able to talk to other Americans. We went to the Living Stones programs where Craig would take pictures and Taylor and Tammy would help out. We got to eat out a lot, and got to go to the steak place: Sal e Braza. Overall, it was great to catch up with them and work with them."
