Retreat and Vigil

Hey Ho!How are you?
So, as I said before, we went to João Grandfather's place on Thursday for a retreat , to learn how should be a group in church, to know each other and ourselves and, of course, to have a good time!
We went to the farm by bus, and we sang a lot there. We watched some workshops and also a movie. There was a bonfire, we stayed there for some time playing the guitar and chatting, and then bed time. On Friday we watched more workshops and played a little scene about the 10 commandments. It was very nice, and funny. And the rest of the day was free, so some guys went to swimmingpool, others played the guitar, others spent the time chatting and stuff.And at the end of the day we went home.
On Saturday we made something like a little tour for Brasília. We visited CEASA,the most important vegetable market in Brasília, the military sector, the TV Tower fair and the Itamaraty Palace, after that, we had lunch at Magai, a famous restaurant here in Brasília and then we went home, to recharge out baterries for the Vigil.
The Vigil is a traditional event here in Brasília community. The vigil started at 22h, with dinner. After that, some of the brazilian guys present to germans our youth group, and they spoke about our activities. Then we watched some videos about easter and reflect about. We had some free time after this and then we did some plays about fundamental things about faith and trust. After this we went to City Park around 6 o'clock, cause every year there's a easter worship at City Park. After this we went back to church, cause the german would be involved in worship. And after the workship we went home to have some easter lunch, but I think that everybody went home and slept. Here in my home, we had our ester luch at night, so...
Today we will be free during the day and at night we will go to the church to celebrate some birthdays. And there's some new pictures on Picasa, check it out!
Bye!

Until now.

Hello, How are you?
So, here in Brasília there's a lot of stuff going on, we went to Casa da Esperança(House of Hope) and Cantinho do Girassol(Sunflower Corner) yesterday, and the germans knew a little of the history and routine of those Social Centers. They also watched a little show made by the Cantinho do Girassol's Children and it was very good.
On Monday the germans knew Point of Preaching Sobradinho, same stuff as Cantinho do Girassol and Casa da Esperança. After this, in the afternoon, they spent the rest of the day at Paulo's House, with pool and soccer and playing the guitar and more!
And Tuesday most of the germans went to their partners' school at the morning and at night they went to the Teatro Nacional (National Theater) watch the Brasília Symphony Orchestra, Henrique's father play with them. And it was very great, cause the germans could to listen brazilian songs and they spoke a little bit with some musicians.
Today we gonna go to João Grandpa's farm around 9 o'clock, spend two days over there. So I have to sleep cause I woke up at 5h to finish this post and I really need to go back to my dear bed.

And we made a Interchange Online Album , check it out!

Goodbye!!

hm...I don't have much to say, as I said before, it's just a test. A test with text,e-mail, layouts and blablabla.
From here, we wish to post some news about the interchange and some stuff we do here in Brasília, like our meetings, concerts and more things I cannot remeber right now, but we do.
