First days in Brazil

Hello friends,
A quick note to let you all know that finally we are in Campinas Brazil. We will be living here for about a year. April 09 2007 we will begin to learn portuguese in a local school. SO far everything is great, we even had the oportunity to begin bulding relationships with un-church folks at the market using our very limited "portun~ol". Please pray that we will always have in mind that we came to Brazil to make disciples, also pray that the transition to our new home will be smoth, and above all that we may always glorify our the Master with our life style, and that we may bear abundant fruit. Pray for a movement of the Holy Spirit among the "Nipo-Brasileiros".

Hola familia y amigos. Una nota rapida para hacerles saber que finalmente llegamos a Campinas Brazil. Estaremos viviendo aqui por 12 meses mas o menos. el dia 09 de Abril 2007 comenzaremos las clases de portugues en una escuela local. Hasta ahora todo a estado muy ben gracias a Dios, e incluso tuvimos la oportunidad de iniciar una relacion con una familia en el supermercado que no asistena la iglesia, usando nuestro muy limitado portun~ol. Por favor oren para que siempre tengamos en mente el motivo por el cual hemos venido a Brasil que es hacer discipulos. Oren tambien por que la transcicion a nuestro nuevo hogar sea suave; sobre todo oren por que siempre podamos glorificar a el Maestro y que podamos llevar fruto abundante. Oren por un mover del Espiritu Santo entre los Nipo-Brasile~nos.


David, Patty & Abby
