Brazilian TV

Wow, my brain is fried. I just listened to Brazilian TV for 4 hours. I am still working on Rosetta Stone. I have a long way to go. Lord, help me to absorb all of this language. I am amazed even now how you have done so much for mankind. The Holy Spirit came and the people heard the gospel in their heart language and I am just learning a second language. It is humbling! Just think, I am not even in Brazil yet. I thank you for everything you have done in my life. I can't do anything without your filling of your Spirit. Thank-you for living inside of me and giving me power that I could not have without YOU. Amen!

Language and More Language

Hi everyone! For the last month, all I have been doing is language and more language. No, I am not in Brazil but I am learning language on my Rosetta Stone software. So pray for me as I learn language here in the states as well as learning language in language school.

New Pictures from the Zoo

My family and I went to the Zoo. Some of the pictures are animals from Brazil. I believe the frog and snake are from Brazil.

Fourth of July and Sunday School

Hi everyone! My fourth of July was good. Oh how I'm reminded every day of our freedoms not only in this country but our freedoms in Christ. My grandfather and my aunt came over for dinner. Then my brother and his wife brought family over from her side. It was really great to meet her niece and nephew. They were nice. I really enjoyed a truly American meal because soon I will be away from my mom's delicious cooking. On Sunday, I taught Sunday school. I taught the 3rd and 4th grade. It was a perfect lesson since I am about to go overseas. The lesson was about the early church and Pentecost. I was even able to teach my students some Portuguese. We talked about how the people were able to understand the gospel in different languages after the Holy Spirit came. Also, there is no news about my visa. Most likely, I will be leaving in August.

Information on my Visa

I just called the Brazilian consulate it is going to take about 15-20 business days to process my visa.

Sending out my June newsletter

Yes, unfortunately I sent out my newsletter 6 times to some of you. Well I guess that means I really want you to pray for me. :) No, actually my computer continued to say error and I would "fix it" and it would come up again every time I sent it. I still don't know anymore about my visa. I hope you have a great week!

I am getting there...Literally

Hey guys, I am the closest yet to getting my visa. They are going to approve my visa and send the approval to the US. I am still not sure of an exact time but I will keep you updated. I said some good byes to some friends this week. It was difficult. They are leaving for the summer.
