Terrific Tennessee

These beautiful flowers are just off the front porch of the Pott's home. Just beautiful and so relaxing.

We enjoyed seeing the Potts, Dan, Sara, and the boys, as well as Bob, Janelle, and Olivia for a couple of days. They surprised us with a going to Brazil-themed party complete with fantastic food as well as green, yellow, and blue decorations. We always enjoy playing with the kids and the park had lots of playground stuff. The time went by too fast!

We are going to try to contact the consulate in Brazil next week to check on our visa process. Some decisions must wait until we have the visas in hand. Thanks for praying for us.

My mountain named Brazil...

Jim recently preached from 2 Peter and I was thinking about 2 Peter 3:14. We are to be diligent, even facing the mountains in life, because we look for the return of the Lord.

So we are still putting one foot in front of the other as we pack and finish getting ready to move to Brazil. Please pray for our visas to be granted soon.


"Therefore, beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless..." 2 Peter 3:14

Moving, waiting, and packing

We have returned from our trip to Maryland and Virginia. Dan was officially ordained last Sunday, and our family was able to spend some wonderful time relaxing on the beach at Sandbridge, Virginia.

Last evening Jim reported to our home church. It was so good to talk with many and be encouraged in the Lord to move forward with our plans to go to Brazil in August.

We will go down to Bob and Janelle's tomorrow to help them move from their current apartment to a different apartment in a better location. It is an exciting time of change.

We are waiting to hear from the Brazilian Consulate that our visas are approved. When that happens we can buy plane tickets and pack our container to go to Brazil. It's a busy time.

We thank you for praying for us.
