This post is for Osnaburg Local School teachers...Chris and Cindy have arrived safely without any (major) international incidents! :) They have already experienced rice and beans, Brazilian showers, one of our Thursday evening children's services...and unfortunately, the coldest and rainiest three days that we've had in the past two years! However, they are still smiling and have already fallen in love with our kids. We are visiting Turvo today and will hit our favorite pizzaria tonight...who knows, maybe Cindy will be up for visiting the chickens tomorrow!

Willian

On Saturday, Willian left CLM to live with his father and stepmother. Since Willian's mother told his father at the hospital that Willian wasn't his, he didn't meet his son until he came to CLM at 9 years of age. They have had many weekend visits over the past year, but this will be the first time they have lived together. We feel that all three have doubts about this plan, but we are trusting God for a miracle in this family. Please join with us in prayer that Willian will feel loved and treasured by his dad and stepmother and that Willian will reciprocate and share the love of Christ with his parents.
