Well I’m back in Brasilia for the first time after having lived here 11 years ago! I’m starting to feel old, thinking back and seeing my years as a week or two ago! Ha!
I think I had forgotten how beautiful the city is. At the same time it doesn’t feel quite right because the […]
I will be traveling today to Brasilia, the capital of the country for 10 days to do some puppet shows. Brasilia is about 19 hours drive away, so we will travel the first 8 hours today, spend the night in Belo Horizonte, and drive the rest of the time tomorrow. Stay tuned for some tales […]
I went on a week-long puppet show tour trip to Brasilia. Here are a few highlights and things we did:
On our way to Brasilia (the capital) we stopped in Belo Horizonte (a medium-sized city about halfway to Brasilia), and spent a night there. It was pretty cool, because I lived in Belo for a […]
We have a puppet show that our home does as an outreach ministry. My brother helped us to make it. We do the show at various schools as a way to raise funds, and what’s better, we pray with the kids after each show. It’s a good way to witness, and the kids really appreciate […]
This morning, I decided to "deep clean" our room (mine and my kids’). This pretty much consists of sweeping and mopping up under the bed and dusting off our desk and various knickknacks. While still recovering from a dust provoked allergy attack, my kids bound in and call me, with frantic tones, because a bird […]
I got up early Monday morning, loaded my assorted instruments into the car (I play drums so we had to load up the drum set, sound system, microphones, amps, etc.) and was off to help organize an event for over 35 teenagers. The idea was to coordinate an Activated magazine subscription contest for Family teens […]
The other day I decided to take my son to the Maracanã (the largest and one of the most famous football stadiums in the world) to watch the finals of the Campeonato Carioca (a regional soccer competition). Fluminense, one of the most well known teams in Rio, was playing against Volta Redonda for the trophy. […]
I took the young people out witnessing at an outdoor mall Saturday night. We met with about 20 other young people from nearby homes. After organizing teams of two, I realized I didn’t have money to pay the parking toll. So off I went to hunt down a bank so I could snatch money from […]
Yes! It is finally a dream come true! Forgive me if this blog is funny sounding, but I just got back from the celebration party (too much tequila)…my art exhibit is finally up and happening tomorrow! I am in awe. The Lord is so good to me…in the ten minutes after the paintings went up […]
Wow.
"The New Vision", Uganda’s leading daily newspaper, surprised me with a call this morning. They had seen one of my advertisement posters in town and asked for an interview today. As the exhibit doesn’t open until Monday, I asked if I could meet with them at the hotel then, where they could take […]
