Our Weekend Trip

We just wanted to thank you all who prayed for us this weekend and give you an update. We had a wonderful trip and were very blessed by a very open-hearted church near San Antonio, TX. Al, Hava, Eli (a friend of ours also traveling to Brazil this summer) and I drove about 5 hours south to present Project AMO to FBC Nixon. We spent the night with a very kind couple and drove back after lunch on Sunday. (That's when we played the alphabet game with Al - the most hysterical version ever! If you haven't heard about it, just ask us!!!) :o)

Al and I spoke with the kids group during Sunday School and taught them some Portuguese as well as Al giving his testimony of his childhood in Brazil and the need of telling your family about the Savior. One of the kids asked him: "What did your family say when you told them about Jesus?"
Al answered: "You know when you find a cake you really like and you ask someone to try it? They might taste it and say they don't like it, but you keep telling them to try it more because you KNOW it tastes good. That is how people are - sometimes they like what you tell them or show them, sometimes they don't. But you can't give up telling them about what is good."

Al, Eli and I also spoke during the service about our call to go to Brazil this summer. We explained about LFM and Project AMO and Al shared part of his testimony and the need to go home and continue to share the gospel with our family. Eli and I also sang songs from the musical. *Which, let me stop here and congratulate Eli for singing in PORTUGUESE for the first time!* Eli played guitar and I played piano. Hava stayed in the nursery and "blessed" the workers there - ok, so she probably cried quite a bit, we could hear here in the sanctuary. :o) But everyone fell in love with her.

So, a big THANK YOU to FBC Nixon for receiving us in love!!! Also, once again, thank you to everyone who prayed for us. We all went and came back in one piece. May HIS NAME be blessed!
