A night in Portuguese

Brazil Night-1

What a blessing furlough has been to our family. We are really enjoying being around so many old friends and having time to share our lives over the past several years. However, no matter how much we love being in the states with this set of friends and family we miss our friends and family back in Salvador.

For sure the majority of our longing centers on our relationships with our friends and the work we are doing in Salvador, but part of our longing also involves this second language we have been working so hard to learn. Well this past Saturday night Bryan and Becky Gibbs opened up their home for us get together with brazilians, ex-missionaries, and anyone else interested in spending an evening worshiping our God and praying for Brazil and we got to do it all in portuguese. What a blessing it was to be able to spend an evening speaking and living in this beautiful language.

Apart from the blessing of speaking in portuguese for an evening we also made a few new friends. It was a great evening. We were blessed to spend with others that have hearts for Brazil and the people there.
