Hello everyone! I am getting worse and worse about writing still...Last week my computer stopped working so its been hard to get internet access. Thankfully we've got our great friend Emerson here on campus who fixed it for me! Thank you SO much, Emerson!! Its such a blessing to have it back. Now there's no excuse for me not to write:)
Well where do I start? Things have bee busy and wonderful as ever! Here's a few highlights from last week: Bethany and I were able to spend lots of time at the Miriam Infant home! The babies are growing and healthy. Its been great to work with them and the other children there. The boys were kept busy with various things, including Nate's getting a sermon ready for sunday. On wednesday night we were able to spend an evening with Pastor Silvio and his wife. They have definately been a big blessing to us since we've been here. They have a wonderful heart for people. We had a fun time on friday night at Emerson's house! We played games, chatted and watched a movie. Their family has been so kind and inviting to us. They are a such an example of Jesus' love! When I get all my pictures on my computer I'll write more about everything thats been happening!
This weekend we were able to spend time with our friend Sabrine. She spent the night here on Saturday night and we had lots of fun watching movies, eating hamburgers and playing games! On saturday night we had a big youth service with all three churches in Campo Mourao. It was so great to see all the youth gathered in one place. We practiced and performed a song in English with our friends Fernanda and Thomaz. It was lots of fun preparing for the event! On sunday Nate did a great job preaching! We shared a few worship songs and all around had a great night with the people at Central Church.
Five new kids came here to the home on sunday. They are all precious! Bethany and I are going to be spending the majority of our time there now. There's lots more work now with 12 children, all together! WOW, what an opportunity to share Jesus! The children love reading their Bibles. We give every child that come a Bible and its a favorite activity to read together:)
A few praise reports and prayer requests:
-Yesterday Bethany and I got our visas renewed for the next three months with no problems!! Praise the Lord!
- We are seeing the Lord work in amazing ways. Its an incredibly wonderful thing to watch!
- Please keep the spiritual life of each of the children here in your prayers. They are in such a nourishing environment for exposure to the Word.
-Pray for provison for the ministry of Pastor Joni and Tamba! They have lots of great work going on in Maringa and elswhere.
- ...and we still need lots of help with our Portuguese. Praise the Lord for what we've learned so far!
God bless and keep Jesus first in your life!
