A message from Susan R. -
Today, we woke up in a village called Arada. It’s a village that has about 35 families living in it. We did vacation bible school and clinic again. Yesterday, we had given audio bibles to several blind people and as we were walking around today, we heard the woman playing hers. We were very blessed by that.
Jan is doing fine in nursing. She worked with a man who has cancer and helped him make arrangements to go to a hospital that is near here.
We saw a real rubber tree and were actually able to pull some of the rubber on it. Heather got a real kick out of that!
Matt is doing phenomenally well. Besides entertaining us (he is such a fun young man), he also blessed us by preaching last night at our service. We have a budding young Brazilian missionary on our hands that may come to pass, so it has been fun watching him.
Today in our service, Heather and I gave our testimonies. It was very heartfelt. Everyone was very humbled that this is our last day. Yes we want to come home, but everyone is sad as well that we have to leave.
We took a break and many of us swam in the river, including Heather, Matt and myself. Even Anita went in. We had a wonderful time just hanging out together and swimming before going into the village to evangelize.
Our service this evening was so beautiful because pastor had us sit in the grass with the river behind him. All of the sudden, Jayanne jumped and moved and there was a little scorpion right by her. It was getting close to biting her! So we thankfully averted having that happen, which wouldn’t have been a fun thing. We are all still very healthy and we praise God for that.
We are very excited that the trip went so well and we’re sad to go. We made so many friends here in Brazil that we are already talking about coming back. Thanks for everyone’s prayers and we ask that you pray for our safe trip back.
