We spend the afternoon at my parents’ house, I still had to sort out lots of pictures there and at night Jander went with my dad to chucrh for worship rehearsel. But before we got even leave here we spent almost 45 minutes to leave the parkingspot because of all the snow!

A gente passou a tarde na casa de meus pais, eu tinha que organizar muitas fotos ainda e a noite Jander foi com meu pai para igreja para ensaiar louvor. Mas antes que a gente podia sair gastamos 45 minutos para conseguir sair de nosso lugar de estacionamento por causa de tanta neve!

De middag brachten we door bij mijn ouders, ik had no hele stapels fotos uit te zoeken, en ‘s avonds ging Jander met mijn vader mee naar de kerk voor de muziekavond. Maar voor we weg konden deden we er wel meer dan 45 minuten over om zelfs maar van onze parkeerplaats af te komen vanwege de sneeuw!

We went to our friend Janet and had a wonderful time there with her, her brazilian friend christiane and her son. (I took some pictures with our phone, but don’t have the cable here to get them to the computer…) we had lunch together, it was a precious time of fellowship. At night we went to Gert and Jennifer where we took care of their cellgroupd, Jander did the worship and I spoke about our work. I was a great night! Also we got to say goodbye to Gerrianne who is off to DTS!

A gente visitou nossa amiga Janet e tivemos um tempo maravilhoso lá com ela, a amiga brasileira dela, Christiane e o filho dela. (Tirei algumas fotos com celular mas estou sem cabo para poder colocar no computador) Almoçamos juntos, foi um tempo precioso de comunhão. A noite fomos para Gert e Jennifer onde lideramos o grupo pequeno da igreja deles, Jander fez o louvor e eu falei sobre nosso trabalho e compartilhei uma palavra, foi uma noite maravilhoso! Também nos despedimos de Gerrianne que está fazendo ETED agora!

We gingen naar onze vriendin Janet toe in Apeldoorn waar we een hele goede tijd hadden samen met haar, haar braziliaanse vriendin Christiane en haar zoontje (ik heb wat foto’s gemaakt met de mobiele telefoon, maar heb hier geen kabeltje om ze naar de computer over te zetten…) We lunchten samen, het was een bijzonder tijd samen. ‘s Avonds verzorgden we de huiskring bij Gert en Jennifer, Jander deed de aanbidding en ik vertelde wat over ons werk en deelde een woord, het was een geweldige avond! Ook namen we gelijk afscheid van Gerrianne die nu de DTS doet!

Enjoying a nice and quiet day at home, only Jander goes away to bring his guitar to the shop to get fixed. Efraim is helping prepare dinner….

Um dia tranquilo em casa, só Jander saiu para levar o violão para ser consertado. Efraim ajuda preparar o jantar…

Een rustige dag thuis, alleen Jander gaat weg om zijn gitaar weg te brengen om te laten maken. Efraim helpt eten klaar maken.

I went to Nunspeet to get the things Efraim needs for school, than Jander leaves with my dad and at night we have dinner with Waisca and Martijn, Efraim especially liked playing the piano!

Eu fui para Nunspeet para já comprar umas coisas que Efraim vai precisar para escola, depois Jander saiu com meu pai e a noite jantamos com Waisca e Martijn, Efraim gostou principalmente de tocar piano!

Ik ging even naar Nunspeet om alvast de schoolspullen van Efraim te kopen, daarna ging Jander weg met mijn vader en ‘s avonds gingen we bij Wasica en Marijn eten. Efraim vond vooral pianospelen erg leuk!

Our Brazilian friend Alex came over from England for the weekend. Ofcourse Jander and Gert took him right away to their favorite restaurant to eat spareribs….

Nosso amigo brasileiro Alex veio de Inglaterra para passar o final de semana aqui. Claro que Gert e Jander levaram ele logo para o restaurante favorito para comer costelas de porco….

Onze braziliaanse vriend Alex kwam over uit Engeland voor een weekendje hier. Natuurlijk namen Gert en Jander hem gelijk mee naar hun favoriete restaurant om spareribs te eten….

I had to give another workshop in the afternoon, this time a painting workshop, was the first time and it was a lot of fun. While I was giving the workshop, Jander and Alex took Efraim to the swimmingpool. At night Gert came over to eat a very Dutch ‘gourmet’, or mini-grill with us!

Eu tive que dar outro workshop a tarde, esta vez um workshop de pintura, foi a primeira vez que eu fiz e foi muito legal. Enquanto eu dei o workshop, Jander e Alex levaram Efraim para piscina. A noite Gert veio para comer uma coisa bem holandesa ’gourmet’, ou mini-grill com a gente!

‘s Middags moest ik weer een workshop geven, dit keer een schilder workshop, de eerste keer dat ik dit deed, het was erg leuk! Terwijl ik de workshop gaf, namen Jander en Alex Efraim mee naar het zwembad. ‘s Avonds kwam Gert bij ons om op z’n hollands lekker te gourmetten!

We went to Nijmegen where I showed something about our work and shared a word. It’s the church of Joanne and Marja whom we met in 2008 when the were in Fortaleza with a GO team, Marja has just finished DTS and will be staff of our team. After the service we went with Joanne to her house to have lunch there. On the way back we dropped Alex off at the trainstation to be able to get to the airport. We were so tired that I almost forgot that I had to go to the local radio to give a quick interview, I was just right on time (a bit late actually), later also Cidiq came by for a visit. A long, busy and tiring but fun weekend!

A gente foi para Nijmegen onde mostrei umas coisas sobre nosso trabakho e compartilhei uma palavra. É a igreja de Joanne e Marja que conhecemos em 2008 quando estavam em Fortaleza com uma equipe. Agora Marja terminou a ETED e vai ser obreiro em nossa equipe. Depois do culto fmos para casa de Joanne para almoçar lá. No caminho de volta deixamos Alex no estação de trem para poder chegar no aeroporto a tempo. A gente estava tão cansada que quase esqueci que ainda tinha que ir para o radio local para uma entrevista, cheguei lá correndo em cima da hora, a noite ainda também o Cidiq ainda passou aqui de visita. Foi um final de semana longo, cheio e cansativo, mas muito legal!

We gingen naar Nijmegen toe waar ik wat liet zien over ons werk en een woord deelde. Het is de gemeente van Marja en Joanne die we in 2008 hebben eren kennen toen ze met een GO team in Fortaleza waren. Marja heeft nu net de DTS afgerond en zal als staf blijven werken in ons team. Na de dienst gingen we met Joanne mee naar huis voor de lunch. Op de terugweg naar huis zetten we Alex af op het treinstation in ‘t Harde zodat hij weer richting Schiphol kon vertrekken. We waren zo moe dat ik bijna zou vergetn dat ik nog naar de lokale radio van Elburg moest voor een interview, ik vloog erheen en kwam net op tidj (stiekem net iets te laat….) aan, ‘s Avonds kwam ook Cidiq nog even langs voor een bezoekje. Het was een land, druk en vermoeiend maar wel heel erg leuk weekend!
