NTM

After completing our second semester of Portuguese language study, we spent our “summer break” in the village we will be working in come January 2010. 

The Lord really blessed our two months in the village.  We gained a lot from the hands on experience and really enjoyed getting to know our co-workers as well as the villagers. 

Gabriel stayed busy working on making repairs on our village house, learning as much as he could from our co-worker Reuben before he left on furlough, and of course playing soccer with the men here. Taking care of active little Avery and making meals for the family occupied most of Rachel’s time. Avery did great with the heat and had only a few little bug bites (we wish we could say the same!).

We are thankful for the opportunity to spend time in the village before we move in permanently in January 2010. The Lord truly blessed our time.  Thank you for those of you who prayed!
