Tap Dancing in Brazil!!

Hey guys!

So I suppose it's just kind of late evening wherever you are, so maybe you'll read this tonight. I wish it was late evening here, but it's just after midnight. That's ok, I'm a big boy kind of so I think I can handle being up past midnight on the occasion. Anyways, today was a relatively slow day. We had about 17 or 18 hours of study scheduled between us, but a few didn't show up. Apparently today is some sort of holiday here so many people were out enjoying themselves, as if being at ICOS isn't enjoyment enough haha understandable though, everyone needs breaks from study right. One reader whom I talked about in a previous post came in today. He missed his class at 4, so I called him and he came in a couple hours later. We had a good lesson talking about John baptizing Jesus and this guy just loves to learn and talk about the Bible. Anyways, after the class, I told him I'd help him set up an email since he didn't have one. I don't think he has ever used a computer before! A first this really surprised me, but now I suppose maybe it's not so surprising. I guess I just figured everyone had used a computer, and iduno it really caught me off guard. There were many simple things he had no idea about so I taught him and a bunch of stuff, and hopefully by his sister's computer or the library we can keep in contact by email! He was so excited to try and learn too it was cool. Like now he just wants to learn about computers and stuff and how to use them, hopefully at the library he said, so that was kinda neat today. Also, like Ryan said, Kresten and I went out to Dante's tap dancing show last night. Wow was it ever awesome! Just the whole experience actually. First, we didn't know what bus, so had to flag one down and ask if it was for Pituba. Than we didn't kno exactly where to get off. So we passed where we should have gotten off, realized it, jumped off the bus and realized we were gonna have to run. So we ran in bare feet or flip-flops I'd say around 2 km's on the side of the road or grass towards oncoming traffic (haha that was pretty hilarious). Than we didn't know exactly what building, but lucked out and found it 5 minutes before the show. Then the bouncer wasn't going to let us in because we had shorts and flip-flops! Man we were ticked because we had just bought tickets. So we just kept trying to communicate and get someone who spoke english and so he brought 2 ladies over, one the manager I suppose, and we said Dante'e name, and then she let us in. Than the show was awesome! Dante was like the star of the show and basically ran it, it was super awesome. How many people watch tap dancing in Canada, never mind Brazil haha it was so cool. Then after Dante came to see us and was so excited, and introduced us to so many of his friends and things, and we in a bunch of pictures and it was pretty hilarious because now there's going to be 2 random Canadians in so many people's pictures! Anyways, Dante is leaving for Portugal in a week, so this was his final performance and so many people were so excited for him. What Kresten and I noticed most about him was how much he loved people. Everyone know him and came to congratulate him. Every kid he saw he picked up and hugged and gave them a kiss. Every parent or brother or sister he greeted with a huge smile and it was so cool to seem someone who loved people, and who people loved. He was just so excited to introduce us to people, and everytime he's be coming to see us at least one person would grab his arm and talk and distract him. Anyways, super awesome guy I kinda wish everyone could meet him. Anyways, I'm pretty wiped so I'm going to get going. Have a good night all, God Bless!
