Can we say crazy? I have no excuse for not blogging at least something but you know how it is. First, I was using dialup and it was really costing us to stay online using that. THEN, Thanksgiving and Christmas came. Need I say more? LOL
We're all doing fine though. The kids are back to school so that makes my day pretty full. The church keeps us busy with the different activities we have going on.
Something to pray about. IF God sees fit, we may have a chance to buy the house we are living in. Jeff is praying about selling our truck, buying a smaller car then use the rest of the money as a downpayment on the house. We throw money away each month on rent, we might as well put it towards something. It really would be nice to leave on furlough KNOWING that I have a place to come back to instead of Jeff coming early to find a house for us then us having to unpack and all. God's will be done, that's all we want. He's closed the door on us buying a house before and God knows we don't want to do anything out of His will.
Ok, I'm outta here! See you in 2 more months.......LOL.....Just kidding!

Hmmmm
I had a blank post so I thought i might as well put something on it. So here is something.
Isn´t that nice! LOL
The missions conference is over
and we are so thankful for how God blessed and worked in the hearts of our people. As of Sunday night, our missions has raised by R$140.00. That´s around $80. May not sound like much but for us, it´s amazing. With the new support coming in, we´ll be able to take on a new missionary and maybe even raise the support of the 8 we already have! All of the papers are not in yet so it may go up more. I am just so thankful for what God did this last week.
Our children started giving this year to missions on a regular basis. We suggested $2 per month but Stephen felt God wanted to him to give $3! Amen!!!
Off to Christmas play practice pretty soon. I can´t believe it´s time for that. WOW! It´s hard to think about Christmas when it´s 75 degrees out and getting hotter. I have been here 11 years and think I´ll never get used to that!

The prayer of a child
I had a headache on Friday and was so tired that I thought it might help to lie down for a bit. It was around 11:30 am and I told the kids to just play for a bit, that I would be up soon. Around 12:30 Alyssa, very quietly, climbed up onto my bed and started to pray in a whisper "Dear God, please help mommy to wake up soon because I´m so hungry". I rolled over and asked her what she wanted. She said to me...."Mommy, I think every body else in Brazil has had lunch except us". This all said with her very sweet, squeaky voice. Man I love that girl! I got up and made lunch!

THE KIDS GET THE FLU

THERE'S A CONFERENCE
AND MISSIONS IS THE THEEEEEEME!
OH WE LOVE TO GO

Well that was fun! LOL Yep, I'm a little silly today so you all will just have to sit back, shake your heads and wonder what in the world is wrong with me. LOL
The kids don't have the flu BUT the truck keeps dying on us. OF COURSE it is! It always does in November! Praise God, we're having a Faith Promise Missions Conference!

How's it going?
I've decided that I need to make a point to post at least once or week or just get rid of the blog! I was so excited about doing this but then we moved and lost our interent so it all went down the drain. Now that I have dial up, it wouldn't kill me to get on and update you all.
I'm so excited about next month! We start our missions conference on November 3rd and are praying for a great outcome. As of now, our church supports 8 missionaries. Three in Mozambique, 1 in Venezuela, 2 in the Amazon, a pastor here in our state that started a church and the seminary here in our state. We are looking to take on a man that works in the prisons then there are several others that have come to the church to present their work. We have a small group of people who give way above their means. FAITH!
I have begun to choose and translate recipes for our international lunch. I think I'm going to do a greek table. MMMMM We'll also have a chinese, Portugual and African table. Should be for some good eating!
Talk to ya soon!

Yep, I'm still here!
It's been awhile so I thought I better get on and say hi!
It's been a busy few weeks here. I honestly don't know where the time has gone! I'm sure we can all say that though.
We had a boy saved last Friday night at our Teen meeting. His name is Roger. His parents are saved but have been away from the Lord for quite some time. Now that they are making thier way back to the Lord, Roger saw his need for a personal relationship with Christ! We have also had several visitors come to church and they keep coming back! Praise God!
I have to get going but I thought I'd give you a new excuse I heard from my daughter the other day. She had lied to me about something and I asked her why she thought lying was going to get her out of trouble. Her answer? Well, Mommy, it wasn't just me that did wrong. The angels helped me! WHERE DO THEY COME UP WITH THIS STUFF? Don't worry, I helped her understand that angels do not help you sin. She sure has an imagination!
