March 22, 2011- Day 4
We are alive. Jesus saved lives. There are now believers in the village that had none.
It is well with our souls,
The Village March Team
Jackie/Luke/Hadley, miss you guys so much. thinking about you all the time. Hopefully everything is ok there. we had a great day meeting with the men of the village, sharing the word and giving them bibles and shoes. We closed out the day getting schooled in soccer by the Brazilians. Guess all the work I put in pre-trip on my soccer skills did not pay off. Love you guys, take care, and see you soon. Love, chris
Tyler- wish you were here. I got to participate in VBS and experienced so much joy watching the children's faces; and I miss ours so very much. Three of the boys from VBS accepted the Lord that night. We closed out our night "gator hunting." Oh yes! Out in a small boat at night we (I mean a brazilian man) caught a small gator and put it on the boat. I held it!! Can't wait to show you pictures and tell you stories. Please pray that God would strenghten my spirit. Love to you from the southern hemisiphere, Aly
Mom (Leisha), I miss you so much. We are having such an amazing experience here in the Amazon. And don't worry, Dad has been on his best behaviour. :) Love you, Jessi & Bill.
Mama K and friends - love and miss you! This is quite the incredible place/experience...can't wait to tell you all about it! I've only taken approx 987 pics, so get ready....;) xoxoxoxo Rae
Mama Terri, Dad, Hunter- I'm growing weary, but still joyful; pray for endurance and energy. I almost adopted a little girl yesterday; if I was married and the time was right, you would be grandparents today and, Hunter, you would be an uncle. We just started singing Phil Wickham's "Beautiful" in the middle of the Amazon; amen for restoration. Love ya'll -Bird
Pat and Jeanne (mom and dad) - Hi love you. Tell Laurie and Carlos eu falo portoguese. And Jean, tell Nellie the search continues ;). Having a wonderful time, such beautiful people here... the kids are melting my heart and also making me miss my KV girls. Love Gwen
From Paul,
Definitely starting to miss family and friends. God's been super sweet, and I'm having a blast. Prayers are always welcome.
Lindales, I hope you guys have been recording, can't wait to get back and lay down drum tracks.
Hi Mom, Dad, & Khoa! What a wonderful way to spend a birthday! I hope that everyone is doing well at home. I am having a wonderful time. I have been waking up early (5:30am!) every morning to see the sunrise along with a cup of coffee. It's been rainy & cloudy at nights so far. I'm hoping to see the stars & the milky way soon. Anyway, it's time to start the day. I have been praying for you all & I miss you like crazy! Love you!!! - Tam
What wonderful disciples of Jesus. My prayers are with you!
