So Far Behind

Ever have those times in life when you just don't feel like you can keep up?  Lately I have felt so far behind, but I am slowing catching up:)  Check back over the next few days as I update the blog and see what we have been up to lately.

April 17-23

*Ethan turned 10 this week and we enjoyed a fun night of pizza, cake and legos.

*Our friends from Lisbon came to visit.  With their 5 kids add to our 2, we had a housefull, but it was great! We had fun playing putt-putt, having a picnic by the ocean and exploring the city.

*While out and about, we found a local craft fair.  That always makes me smile:)

I Live Because HE Died

Já estou crucificado com Cristo; e vivo, não mais eu, mas Cristo vive em me; e a vida que agora vivo, na carne, o qual me amou, e se entregou a si mesmo por mim.   Gálatas 2:20

I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.  Galatians 2:20

Riverbend Baptist Church - Gainsville, GA

We were so blessed to have had these wonderful folks from GA spend a week with us. 

They walked our city streets, prayed for our beloved Portuguese and encouraged us more than we could ever have  imagined.

Here is a quick wrap of the week.

Micah translating for Chris at the Senior adult home.

Dinner with youth at the Ca.Fe in Viseu.

It was an amazing week and these folks did all that we asked of them and more. 

We are so excited for them to come back and work alongside of us again soon.
