Mariah and Cassiano`s birthday!

These are my two sisters, Patricia and Carlota.. They both had their babies at the same time with two weeks apart. Matt and I helped to have a party for Mariah and Cassiano together.

This is our nephew Cassiano enjoying his first bike!

This is Matt helping our niece Mariah to get ready for her party!

And there you can see them celebrating their 3rd birthday!

I love birthday parties, I feel like a child in the middle of so many candies! hehehe! :)

Matt and I are practicing to be parents with our little niece and nephew, so let's see what the future brings for us...

more about my students!

Hi, this is Martje! She has been studying English with me for about two months. She is very special because she comes from a missionary family (Evangelical Free Church). Martje and her family came from Germany when she was about 8 years old. She is now more Brazilian than German. She is 13 years old, very cute, and also pretty tall for her age. We are going to start to get-together with other English students to practice English and play games, she can be a great Christian influence to my other students! Well, that`s a little example about what I do during the day. I spend my days going from home to home teaching English and searching for opportunities to influence people with Christianity! Please pray for my activities! :)

News from Porto Alegre!

This week our house church went to the park, we worshipped there.

We shared popcorn! We with our brothers and sisters!

It was a different experience to take the Bible to the park! After all, God does not want to be locked in a building, he is part of our life and we want to testify his word!

Remember Flavia? Our former secretary has just graduated and she is selling real estate now! We want to bring her back to the church, but it is difficult, because her job requires her to work on the weekends! :(

We also like to meet our church members for a meal. Here we are at Joao and Clarisse's house. They have a new house church at their home, we try to meet as often as we can to support each other spiritually. In the picture, you can also see Luzia and Daniel with their son Mateus! It was a happy celebration because they were divorced, and now they are back together! Luzia has prayed for this for almost five years and she has never given up! :)
