Updates on the Comings family. Includes selfies, pets, and obnoxious parents bragging about kids,
I was looking for pictures for one of Mikey’s assignments, and found this one in the archives. Thought it deserved some more airtime. The Astonishing Adventures of Missionary Max, Parts 1, 2 and 3 are now available for Kindle and Nook!
This was not the post I had planned on writing today, and even now, as my fingers move, I can scarcely believe what I am seeing appear on the screen. As I was getting ready to teach an English class last night, the phone rang. It was a lady from our church, imploring me to…
Several factors motivated us to get Mikey into scouting while we were on furlough in the US earlier this year. Not the least of these was that he thrived with the adventures that the scout program provides. Upon our arrival in São Luís we were delighted to find a thriving Boy Scout (Escoteiro) program here….

It has been about a month and a half since our arrival for our second term in Brazil. Here is a quick summary of major events during that time. Renting a house. This was our first major hurdle. After several days of searching we finally found a three-bedroom home in a decent neighborhood. Our son…
Admittedly, there’s not much here. We would have many more pictures, but for the first couple weeks the charger for our camera was buried deep in luggage. It has finally been recovered, and more pictures should be forthcoming. In the future there will be pictures of our new house (as soon as the Brazilian Bombshell…
Why, at the AWANA Grand Prix, of course! While I have been enjoying the winter wonderland that is Upstate NY, Michael and Nathanael participated in our home church’s AWANA car races.
