It’s been a busy but rewarding week since our last Snapshots post. Here are some highlights. As always, be sure to follow our Instagram account to get these updates as they happen.
We attended a seminar on how to minister to people with autism. Dr. Adriadna (center) did an outstanding job. We were especially pleased that these two ladies from Ebenezer accompanied us.The seminar wasn’t all sitting and taking notes…One of our young people, Isaque, turned fifteen this week. We can excuse his questionable choice of a soccer team, because God is truly working in his life.Another great moment as we shared an evening (and pizza) with Alisson and Yngrid, newlyweds from Ebenezer.…and yes, those are indeed French fries on that pizza on the left.I was reminded of how privileged modern missionaries are, as we were able to talk to my Dad on his birthday. The pioneer missionaries in whose footsteps we follow knew of no such luxury.While the truck was being repaired on Thursday I put some serious preparation time into this week’s Old Testament Survey lesson.

Be sure to read to the end of this post, where there is a special opportunity to participate. On Sunday morning our family paid a visit to Pastor Fred Alencar and his wife Andrea at their church plant in the Nova Era neighborhood – a roughly twenty-minute drive from our home.

Today is a national holiday here in Brazil (Corpus Christi), and since our camp work day had to be cancelled, we pastors and missionaries decided to get together with our families at the beach. We had a lovely picnic and great fellowship. Itacyara and I count it a great privilege to be able to work…
