Busy Week

It's been a busy week of school and ministry. I do 2 Bible studies every Monday night. One is with a new convert than right after that I do a Holy Women study with a couple of other ladies. The kids love Bible study night because it's the only time they are allowed to have fried stuff! Jeff makes hamburgers and home fries and they love it. Tuesday night Jeff and I went on a very much needed date. It's amazing how just a couple of hours together can lift you spirits. I really miss him when we don't take time out to be with each other. I guess I like him a little. LOL

Yesterday was a good day at church. Sunday morning we had 35 with 2 visitors and Sunday night we had 24 with 5 visitors! I had kids church on Sunday night and we talked about creation. It's amazing how much kids DON'T know about the Bible. That's why we're here though, amen?!

That's about it on me. Have a great day!

Christmas pictures a little late!

I've been meaning to get some pictures up from our Christmas play at church. There are our Angels. They really did a great job. The three is the back starting from the left is Jessica (9), Carol (10) and Raquel (9). In the front are Suelen (10)(mary and Joseph's older sister) and Alyssa (6).

Here's our happy shepherds! LOL The far left is Welinton (9), then Stephen (8), and next is Maicon (11). The one is beige is Matueus (6) and in the very front is Wilson (7).

Mary and Joseph! They are brother and sister. Israel is 7 and Evenlyn is 8.

We had 58 people in church that night and 28 of those were visitors! What a blessing!

Brother! I only have 2 posts and have already gone AWOL! I think starting a blog right after 2 big holidays was not the smartest thing I've ever done.

The Christmas stuff is down, school is back in session, Bible studies have started back up and life is back to "normal".

I've been trying to figure out how to make my blog pretty like other people's blogs. There are some really nice ones out there! I honestly don't think I'll ever learn but if I'm able to post a picture, I'll be happy. I just got some batteries for my camera so the next thing I plan to do is post pictures of our Christmas play. It was really nice but I'll leave that for the next post.

We had 2 visitors at church over the weekend. One lady, Gloria, is so very close to accepting the Lord. I can't wait to be able to post about her salvation!

It's almost 4 o'clock here, Stephen is almost done with school, Alyssa has been done for some time and is waiting for Stephen so they can go swimming. I guess it's time for me to get dinner started! Have a great day!

Happy New Year!!

Right now I have the oven full of turkey and pork. I just got done making the cheesecake and have the fresh blueberries boiling right now. We just can't pop a can open and throw blueberries on top like you do in the states! LOL In fact, up until a couple of years ago, you couldn't even find a blueberry. I am SO happy we have them now, I LOVE them!

Our church is having a nice dinner tonight with lentils, rice, turkey, pork, potato salad, lettuce salad and for dessert some pudim (flan), sagu (like grape tapioca but better) and the blueberry cheesecake.

After dinner we are showing the film "Facing the Giants" then we will pray in the New Year. We won't have many there but it will be a sweet time of fellowship. As the fireworks go off, we will be on our knees. What better way to start 2008!

Hello all!

I was thinking it might to a good idea to start a blog. Life gets so busy that we have a hard time keeping in touch with family, friends and supporting churches. I am not very good and figuring this stuff out but plan to give it my best shot! Have a good day!
