What we are doing here in Portugal

So today was our first work day. We had a great and the weather is just amazing. Not very hot with a great breeze pretty much all of the time. :D

So what we did today was lay a bunch of concrete that turns into the bottom part of the edging for the new road. And that also. We are laying a new road. I know, I know. All you have to do for that is get a cement truck in here and let them do it. No way. Not for us. That would be way to easy. We have to lay down a bunch of broken tile and sand. Then we level it. They we put the cement bricks. Sounds like fun right? Its not that hard, and with the weather being this pleasant we are happy in long pants in the morning and evening.

The food is great. I know you go to foreign country thinking o no the food is going to be horrible. Its great here. It is not what we have at home but still. It is really good.

The first evening here we had this soup, it had broth and turnip greens or something green in it. Then the real meal was some spaghetti. I know. Sounds like regular spaghetti. No. It was different it have orange peppers in it and some sort of seasoning. :P but it was really good.

For breakfast we just had bread and hot tea. But it was really good and I told my mom that we should have that at home. For lunch we had that soup I mentioned a second ago, and these vegetables with some seasoning, and fish sticks! The desserts each day were pudding and watermelon!!!

Also I really want to tell you about how wonderful the Cavacos were. They gave us each our own room. And we were expecting to have to sleep on the floor. We each have two beds (this is the kids not the adults. The adults have their own little suites.) and a place to hang things and book shelves! So yes its great. We are loving it here.

I still hope you guys continue to pray for us and our safety here and what the Cavacos are doing with their ministry here in Portugal. There will also be pictures on here as soon as I figure out how to do it. Goodbye.
