Venícius - People of Brazil

Letícia - People of Brazil

      Letícia is another one of our friends who attended Vacation Bible School this year.  Though she and her brother had come last year and had attended Sunday School for a while, they moved to another house and we hadn't seen them for quite some time.  Finally when we found where they moved to, Johnathan, Mahalia, and I visited them a couple times and let them know the dates for the VBS this year.  Though they may have come even if we hadn't invited them, Johnathan was very excited to see some of his friends at VBS that he had invited himself!

Henrique - People of Brazil

      On one day of this year's VBS, the kids were told to dress up as someone from another country.  This little boy decided to be an Indian - what do you think?

Juliana - People of Brazil

     Juliana is a close friend of ours.  She is one of our neighbors and any time I take our kids out for a walk they always ask to, "go to Juliana's house." 

     We were excited to see her accept our invitation to come to Vacation Bible School this year and would love to be able to have her visit church again with us!

Maria Eduarda - People of Brazil

  This little girl was a faithful visitor of this year's VBS and seemed to greatly enjoy herself the entire week!
   The VBS had a Global Mission's theme and so on the last day there were prizes for people who dressed up as being from another country.  I would say this girl definitely deserved first place!

Mahalia's Prayer

Mahalia enjoys praying, though we can rarely understand more than, "Dear Jesus . . . . AMEN!" (Of course, she prounces, "Amen" just like she hears the Brazilians in church) :)

Riverman - Postcard from Brazil

      These narrow canoes scare me.  I don't understand how these fishermen stay upright, but they seem to be perfectly comfortable while fishing all day!

      In our area, fishing is one of the larger industries and many people live only on what income they can get from the day's catch.
