Peter and I spoke on Sunday night at a church service in a retirement community. We were both exhausted after a long day filled with other responsibilities, and going to new surroundings, not knowing what to expect naturally added a little more stress to the mix. But God (aren't those great words??) was faithful. He's (still) teaching me that life isn't about the destination - in this case, Brazil and being a "full time" Christian worker. It truly is about the journey. God is using our situation right now to teach us about Him, to rely on Him, to SEEK Him, to bless and be blessed by His people. We were both encouraged by these people who have walked with God and who have experienced His faithfulness long before Peter and I were born. There was even a couple who had lived in Brazil (in the city we will be in for language school) and greeted us with "Boa noite!"
As always, we appreciate your prayers, especially in specific circumstances like Sunday night.
Next stop - Wisconsin! We leave in less than a week.
And one more thing to praise God for - Peter's passport came today in the mail (all of our passports came incredibly quickly) so we can ALL go to Canada later this spring - and, Lord willing, Brazil!
