Exciting times

Happy Spring!

     I am back up on the East Coast! And may I say, it is COLD!!! I was not quite prepared for the 50 degree weather I would be facing lol. 

    That aside, it has been wonderful to be back up here with some familiar faces, it has been so great to see my parents again. I haven't been home since Christmas! All my travels have kept me quite busy and out of the area. 

    It has been an exciting last couple of weeks for me lately! I recently purchased my plane tickets for my Survey/Set-up trip in Brazil! I will spend the month of September down there in preparation for my move, which will be, Lord willing, this coming November. It was so neat to buy those tickets and think that very soon my life will be transplanted for good in Brazil. I am very ready to get down there and get busy! 

    Also in the last few weeks I have had the opportunity to begin classes for Brazilian Sign Language (Libras). It has been so incredible to begin this journey. What a blessing to get a jump start on language school! Please continue to pray for me as I study, that the Lord would give grace and allow me to learn quickly and do well. 

    Lots of new things going on! Please keep me in your prayers as I can see Satan is fighting me even now during this time of preparation. Pray for God to give wisdom as I have many upcoming decisions to make, pray for strength as I come to the end of my deputation journey and pray for protection physically, spiritually and mentally. The devil is and will continue to do everything in his power to keep souls from being saved. Prayer is power! I cannot say enough how vital each and every one of your prayers is to me and my ministry! Thank you so much for praying for me, and thank you for reaching out to let me know that you are. Those two things mean the world <3

Thank you for taking the time to keep up with us!
