Happenings…

Things here are going quite well.  Classes continue as usual.  We are thankful for those who prepare our classes and have thought of all the diffrent aspects of missions over seas.  I guess it helps that most (if not all) of them have actually been over seas.  : )  Some of the current classes we are in are…Foundational Bible Teaching, Communications and NTM Finances.  Monday we also start Phonetics.  We are learning lots of diffrent things and are growing in the Lord as well.  We are doing a lot of prep work for a class that is for "Partnership Development." It’s all about giving others an opportunity to partner with us in this ministry.  God is certianly challenging us in this area!  We want to always make sure we are doing His will & not ours.  The kids are well.  Each of them seems to enjoy their day. Oh!  One excititng thing is that we spoke to the leadership on the field in which we would like to serve.  They have given us a ‘formal invite’ to come there.  We still have to finish our training here and then become acutal members with NTM, but each step is a step in the right direction.  Now that we have the invite we are starting the long process of applying for passports.  We not only have to apply for American ones, but Brasilian ones as well. Knowing this can take a significant amount of time and money, we have decided to start now.  Okay, that’s our current news for the time being.  We would love to hear from you, if you have time. ; )

Trusting in Him in ALL things~
