more students

These are Maria Foster and Luis Roncato, they have been studying English for 1 year, they are able to communicate in English very well now. When they travel to other countries they even write me postcards in English, it is really rewarding for me to know that I am part of it. Luis and Maria are both psychologists, we study in Luis' office. They really like the class, it is twice a week in the afternoon between their appointments with their patients. It is a good way for them to get away from work for a while. Sometimes we go to a cafeteria to practice English and chat. They are catholic, but they are not going to any church as far as I know. They know I am a Christian, and whenever they want to know about our church in Porto Alegre, they are welcome. I introduced Matt to them and my husband could explain more about his missionary work. So they know we are there for them. Their English is getting better and better, so after a while we can open a bible study class in English and invite them. What do you think?
I love their personality, they are always happy, making jokes, willing to learn, they're awesome! We always have a great time together. I hope God blesses this relationship now and in the future. All I am doing as a Christian is making myself available through my work.

I think the Bible study class in English is a great idea! Go for it.

Waleska,
I didn't know you had a blog! I am glad that you are doing this. It is a great way of communicating. I am also very glad to see more clearly how you minister to your students. We are praying that the Lord open doors in your many relationships. Have a great day!
