The weather here is lovely! One year ago, in the States, we were taking pictures of the first snow that we had seen in years. This year it is back to the same old boring 75 to 80 degrees with sunny skies. Ho hum! What else is new? Are you feeling jealous yet? Hope so. Why, because we would love to have you come down for a visit. We haven’t had any visitors since our return. What's more is that you could participate in ministry with us. That would be fun wouldn’t it?
And, speaking of ministry, we had a very good day Sunday. We celebrated Thanksgiving with a special service dedicated to testimonies, special music, and a good message from the Word. We had a good number out for the service and we had some visitors too. There were many tears of joy shed as families spoke of how God had blessed them and how they were used to be a blessing to others.
We are in our fifth week of Bible study with Carlinhos and Mara and the questions that they are asking are more and more interesting. We are seeing them grow before our eyes. We also started a study with another couple, Cristiano and Aline along with Ludmila. There are many dificulties in these three young lives but nothing too big for God to handle. We are excited that God is allowing us to be a part of their lives.
We will have our annual couples retreat this Wednesday and should have a good turnout with the three churches participating. I’ll send pix.
Davi and I visited with Eloine this week. She visited our church last Sunday with her grand daughter Aline. Pray for their salvation. Their's is another sad story that I’ll tell in another entry.
