How did they remember all that?

Greetings fromTexas! Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas sure were hot when we made our way south beginning of this week. Visited some great friends and told our story to a number of children, youth, parents and even some retired folks. Hardly anyone was aware that Brazil nuts really grow in hard pods like that in the Amazon jungle. And, of course, our dried piranha evoked genuine interest from young and old. One 3rd grader asked his mom to take his picture with it after breakfast for show and tell... Found our nice apt. awaiting here, a delicious supper ready for us at grandma's house and plenty of chatting to get caught up with. Today we are doing laundry, accounts and shopping for groceries. Mail awaiting us included interesting letters written by 6th graders in Alabama who heard our presentation back in February. Apparently their teacher had them write us right after our visit, thus the vivid details of things they remembered: the color of Brazilian money, how Brazil nuts grow, that there are McDonalds there, our funny mistakes in learning Portuguese, different fruits and foods, a song we taught them, that Brazil has won the soccer World Cup 5 times, about umbrella ants, iron ore exports, 40 to 60 cell phones there, that the gov. is a democracy, and that the climate is hot where we work. Did we really say all that?? Many said they are praying for us as we go back this summer to continue our ministry. Was good to get those letters....
