It's been nearly 6 weeks in Maraba' already. We've been building a house on the mission property and we're anxious to get in as we've been one big family with the Bergen's. They are so gracious to have us and yet it will be nice to be neighbors.
Maraba' is the biggest city we have ever lived in and so we are trying to get acquainted with it by taking adventures to the store, taking our Brazilian friends who have lived here 6-7 months with us on family nights etc. So far II can get to a few places without help! We live far from town, so it's quite the adventure.
So another 2-3 weeks and we should be in our little house. We can't wait.
Ministry wise, we are not doing near what we did in Porto de Moz, but getting more involved as time goes on.
Clyde is helping do a boys bible study and a young men's bible study. I am thinking about getting involved in a little girls group and helping with a women's group as well. Commitment is tough for me at this stage with the kids, but I want to help. Also, more than this I'm wanting to coach and teach the worship team as they are all new musicians and the worship experience. So we'll see where that goes. For now, I'm doing sunday school and Clyde is on the preaching schedule on Sundays.
The girls enjoy so much being helpers in the sunday school. Recently the girls both danced in the church dance group and did super well.
We look forward to sharing about our move into the house and for Clyde to get off on his first trip to Sao Felix.
Please be praying for us for timing and vision!
Blessings to you all during this Easter Sunday. May the sacrifice of Jesus and His resurrection be the celebration this weekend.
