Updates on the Comings family. Includes selfies, pets, and obnoxious parents bragging about kids,
God, in His mercy, chose to protect Itacyara and my sister-in-law Emily from the effects of a serious accident last night. Another driver ran a red-light and collided with their car. As you can see from the picture below, God’s sovereign protection did not extend to the Rav4 they were driving. Nobody was seriously hurt…
Our oldest son has been amazingly patient and tolerant of our chaotic lifestyle over the past month. He has tolerated the packing up of our household, the giving away of his dog, the bohemian living…all because of the promise that when we arrived in Florida he would get to see the animals at our pastor’s…
Mikey and I got to spend some quality time in Belem on Sunday, visiting the botanical gardens (which also have large collections of animals) and other attractions of the city. This will most likely be our last post before arrival in the US on Wednesday for furlough. See you all there! ____________________ Did you enjoy…
We arrived in Belem this morning. Belem is our final destination before boarding our plane to the US. Our hostess here took us on a boat that cruises the coast of the city. Here are some pictures: Our cruise also included live entertainment featuring traditional music and dance from the state of Para. At one…
We went to the BMMB Family Conference expecting to be blessed by the preaching, the fellowship, and the change of pace. We were not disappointed. But for me there was one feature that added immense value to the week, like the caramel covering that takes vanilla ice cream to a whole new level. There was…

Here are some pictures of a teju (pronounced TEH-zhoo) found on campus yesterday. It had apparently fallen into this hole behind the married-student housing. One of our students, Washington by name, jumped in the pit and pulled it out. This gives a good idea as to the size of the lizard. According to our seminary…
I am sitting in the lobby of a hotel in the city of Picos, where we have stopped for the night on our way home. Three years ago this was relatively comfortable hotel, whose main advantage was the low cost. Three years later the cost has remained low, but the hotel has made great strides…
As we approached our destination on yesterday’s journey we noticed whole fields full of large termite nests. This, of course, presented a great photo-op, especially for Mikey. Mikey was thrilled with these termite nests. They are truly amazing examples of the wonders of our Creator. Whole “civilizations” work underneath these mounds which–proportionally–tower above anything man…
If you follow our tweets you know that we are currently in the city of São Luís, at the home of my brother-in-law. Our trip was uneventful as far as we were concerned–no major car troubles, no accidents. Just as we were leaving the city of Picos, climbing the ridge that surrounds that city, we…
