Moving On

For whatever reasons my pictures will not upload today. I've tried it twice. Maybe tomorrow!

I am so excited for the team that will be coming to Curitiba next month. It is a beautiful place here. John and Flavia are the best at showing you amazing sights and places in the city. And can Flavia cook....!!!

We've so been enjoying our time here with them. We have seen multiple seasons :) as well as places. This morning we got to take part in the English service that John does every Sunday. It's a new thing for the church but seems to be well recieved. Many people like to have opportunities to hear and speak English so they use it as such. However, we see it as a great outreach where the Word is going out into this place. Praise God!

We look forward to the evening service in just a few hours. Once again we find the people warm and inviting here in this beautiful city. And the visions that John and Flavia have for this place and especially for their church are exciting. Everyone needs a visionary! I've teased them that the visionary is John in this case and Flavia is the Curt Duever that every visionary needs!

For those of you who wonder: God has not told us this is "the" place yet. We hold losely to the hope that we have to know where we will be living. However, should God reveal to us that this were the place to put our tent we could be happy here and excited about coming.

For those of you who have been praying for me regarding my request to be excited about coming back to Brazil, your prayers are being answered. God has been confirming over and over His desire for us to be here and although we do not know what we have to offer, we are excited for this next chapter in our lives. Thank you for your prayers.

We serve a faithful God.

Tomorrow we take the bus to Florinopolis.

Heidi and I have been blessed so much by you two! And even more so with these posts (pictures or no :)! I just thought it so funny that you mentioned how everyone needs a visionary. You guys sure are that in our minds, pursuing such an awesome path for the Lord.
My eyes [shall be] on the faithful of the land, That they may dwell with me; He who walks in a perfect way, He shall serve me. Psalm 101:6

I am so glad that you are feeling the call for you to be serving in Brazil, even though you are not sure where. God is answering our prayers, a little at a time. In Jerimiah 29:11, we read that God has plans for you. Mom M.
