Here we are again, discussing with couples about how to communicate. This was our first couples meeting of 2008. I think we were the ones who learned the most! The topic of the meeting was comunication! So we started with an practical example: have you ever played wireless phone as a child? That's what we did as adults, and we were terrible, everytime we pass on a message we change words and consequently the meaning!
We shared experiences and ideas based on the Bible! e.g.: 1 Peter 3:7, Ephesians 4:26-27 and 29-30, Proverbs 18.2, and Ephisians 4:15 and 25 .We had a great time chatting about these topics, then we had a meal and spent some time together!
It is a great pleasure to open my apartment for God's purpose, everybody seemed to be comfortable and felt home. I love the home environment!
Above you can see Regis and Conceição Signoretti (left couch), they're moving to their new house soon, and they offered to open it and inaugurate in the next couple's meeting. It is a way to thank God for this new acomplishment of their lives! Next couple's meeting will be on April 26th!Please pray for this ministry, Matt and I felt discouraged during the week of the meeting, I almost gave up this ministry, but thanks to my husband and the joy of people from the team of Viamão bringing me words of wisdom I kept on. I thank God sending "Angels" to keep me standing!
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. Ephisians 4.29

I know how it is to be discouraged in a specific ministry. Be encouraged though! You and Matt and doing a wonderful job and you always have a great turnout at the Couple's Meetings. If my count is correct there were 9.5 couples at this last meeting (the .5 being that Rui was there by himself). God is blessing this ministry - no doubt! Just take it one day and one event at a time and know that the 8 couples from the Igreja de Cristo do Sul (including you and Matt) were there to learn and support this ministry and their marriages.
