The Chair Rests

Actually, the chairs rest--in the chapel, after having been thoroughly cleaned by myself and a redoubtable team of seminary students. Said cleaning of said chairs was in preparation for our missionary conference, which starts on Wednesday.

Getting Ready to Wash Chairs
Priscila and Evandro prepare to wash!

I was especially proud of Michael, who pitched in and worked the entire time, without complaining, right along side of the college kids.

Part way through our washing process, a torrential rainstorm passed through. Rather than dampen the spirits of the students, it raised them, as can be seen by the picture below.

Washing...or Frollicking

Finally the rain cleared, and we were able to pose with the finished product.

In case you missed me in the picture, here is a closeup...proving that I can still hold my own with the "youngsters".

Mucho Macho

We are greatly looking forward to the conference this week. The men who are scheduled to speak have done great things for Brazilian missions, and there is a sense of anticipation on campus.

And, thanks to my outstanding team, we will have clean chairs to sit on!

I know it is wrong, but I envy your work! Drat. Now I need to go repent or something. The internet is evil.

You see, "For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am ON THE INTERNET, sold under sin. For I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. Now if I do what I do not want, I agree with the law, that it is good. So now it is no longer I who do it, but THE INTERNET that IS IN MY COMPUTER. For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my COMPUTER, AND THE INTERNET. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out. For I do not do the good I want, but THE INTERNET MAKES ME do not want is what I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but THE INTERNET that dwells within MY COMPUTER.

(I hope that is not blasphemous- but it would make my life easier if Paul wrote it that way! It is hard to see people doing things I want to do while I am still paying the price to get there. Alas, I am really satisfied in waiting on the Lord- in my time it would be ruin. In His time it will be fruitful.)

Great pictures Andrew!

Sorry man, did not mean to evoke the baser instincts with that post. You might "not" want to look at the next series of pictures either.
