Keep Praying For Us

It has been a while since we've been able to update the blog.  We have had quite a bit going on.  One of Rachel's students has been recording her new demo which required a lot of preparation on Rachel's part.

Also, we had a bit of a scare a while back that even took us to the ER.  Rachel suffered a "threatened miscarriage."  The doctor said there is no explanation as to why it happened, or why it stopped, but we know everything is in the LORD's hands and we desire His will.  Rachel has been and is still on bed rest until the degree of danger lowers sufficiently to return to daily activity.

One of our Brazilian friends who you have prayed for in past is also suffering the risk of a divorce.  She has been studying scripture with us over the past year and needs believing friends nearby to support her in this trying time.  She also has a 4-year-old son.

We know that many times we pray and yet have no idea of the outcome.  We just wanted to confirm that your prayers for us and our ministries do have power.  We are thankful to be moving into a new year with the hope of having another baby to come into the family.  We are hopeful for a great success for Rachel's student who is looking to get signed by a record label.  We are prayerful that our friends and family, no matter how far, will feel the movement of the Holy Spirit in their lives through internet scripture study and encouragement.  Please continue to pray with us in these specific areas - your prayers are powerful and effective. (James 5:16)

Just in case you hadn't heard:

We're expecting Leite baby #2!  Should be here around August - maybe even on Rachel's birthday.

Fall+Cold=Cute Hava

So, it finally got cold in Texas.  It was 30-something today and Hava went out to play in the leaves.  We all had a good time!

Everyday Hava- 

She decided that the best place to keep her fork during dinner was in her straw.
This is the VERY FIRST TIME any braids have stayed in her hair...we were all very excited.  :o)

Matthew 6:33

"But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you as well."
