It's been 4 months I've been up here, lately I've been so busy just as I'm busy in Brazil, which is good and keeps me on shape and prepared to come back! But I get really tired, there is a lot work to keep communication, trying to get new contacts and speaking in different places. But the Lord is good and I'm sure He had this time prepared for me....
I've have had stomach problems for many years and got worse here, I was in emergency room couple weeks ago, so I'm under medication and (trying) to be in a strict diet, when you travel it is hard...
Something really sad happened, my uncle, my brother's father passed away yesterday. He was 49. I felt really sad for not being there for my family, but I rejoice in the Lord that he is saved, he is christian and past week he told his family he was feeling that his end was approaching but he was ready to be with the Lord.
Being a missionary bring its challenges...raising support, being away of family in times like this, etc, etc, etc...but it is God who enable us to do His work and He takes care of us...Even if we do, we don't need to worry..."In the multitude of my thoughts within me Thy comforts delight my soul" Psalms 94:19
We all are called to show Jesus to this fallen world...so we can be an instrument in God's hand to bring as many people who we know to enjoy Heaven with us! God bless you, I really appreciate your prayers! Enjoy my pictures sharing in different places!!!

Tati, I am so sad to hear about your Uncle. It is so hard for us left on earth as we grieve for a life that we loved, but what a gift to know that your Uncle is worshiping Jesus face to face now. Can you imagine? I'm praying for you as you grieve, and understand how difficult it must be to not be surrounded by family at this time. My prayers go up for your family and your father especially. I love you Tati, and hope you feel the arms of Jesus wrapping you up tightly and holding you closer to him.
ResponderExcluirThanks a lot!!!
ResponderExcluirTati...so sorry about your uncle. What a blessing to know though that he is in heaven with our heavenly Father now! Will be anxious to have you back in California next week. And to know that during the week of Blitz, I should be able to see you lots! How is the support raising going? Big hugs, Diane
ResponderExcluirvc tá crescendo hein?
ResponderExcluirWe miss you. I love reading your posts, even though I already know what is going on. And, that was Kaden's birthday with us, not EASTER. People are going to think we are weird, for doing Easter with a Toy Story theme. But whatever. Love you! And I love watching God work in and through you!
