We have a group from church that is taking music lessons. Here in Brasil students do not study music in school. If one wants to learn music or how to play and instrument he must take private lessons. After 2 months of classes they played and sang for Christmas. They were so nervous. But we are very proud of them. Our oldest student is the lady playing bass. We were surprised when she said that was the instrument she wanted to learn to play.
We have had so much rain here. We are thankful that we do not live in an area that has floods. If we did we would certainly be wiped out. The rain has done lot of damage in town but it has not taken any lives.
Our school year starts this week. The kids of course have mixed emotions. They want to see their friends but studying part ..... oh well.
We want to thank those of you who sent special gifts for Christmas. We deeply appreciate your kindness. May God bless each of you.
The church is doing great. Last week we had 5 people saved. Pray for these babes in Christ as they grow in the Lord each day.
We have a new mother here with 3 children. She came for help with a social worker from the city asking for a place to live. She was a drug addict. She has been using cocaine most of her life. When we had the HOME two of her brothers lived with us. They had the same problem. They came from a family (well if you can call it a family) that had no structure what so ever. Unfortunately that is becoming more common around the world. The Devil is not too fond of structured families that serve God. Actually the devil started working with Adam and Eve. The first misunderstanding they had was accusing each other. Pray for this young lady. She just turned 30 and has 3 kids ages, 11, 6 and 2.
