Year-end

Because I'm already traveling again I didn't have time to uploaded the pictures from our soccer tournament and the Christmas service. I hope to do that asap.

But I want to wish you a Marry Christmas, blessed time with family and a good start into the new year. I want to thank you for all your support during this last year and pray that our LORD will grant you many blessings.

See you next year

Back in Barão

Well I'm back in Barão again for a short time. The time in Belem was all in all good. The time started not to good at first but with the time stuff got better and I found my place again. Again I want to thank you very much for your prayer during that time. The course that we (Tashona and I) had was not to bad. It was hard for us keep up with this class because of Skype. It became hard for us to sit a half a day on the computer and listen to those back in Canada. And beside that the Internet wasn't working that well all the time which made it hard for us to pay attention. The course it self was interesting and important for our internship.
After the time in Belem my mother, Tashona and I drove back to Piaui. I had the chance to stay for a few days at my parents house and just relax a bit. Now I'm back in Barão and their is a lot waiting for me. On Saturday have out soccer tournament and on Sunday we will have our Christmas service at church. Beside this two events we still have the events that are going on during week. On the 24th I'll be driving back to my parents place to celebrate Christmas with them. After Christmas we will be driving down south to a town called Colonia, it is the town where I grew up and lived the most time of my live. Their we will celebrate New Years with some old friends. So their is a l to coming up and I'm looking forward to all of that.
I want to thank you one more time for your support in prayer.


Ps. If you want to help out the ministry here in Barão you could help us buying some soccer balls for our soccer ministry. If you're interested in helping us, so please contact me.

quick update

Thank you so much for the prayers that I needed so much in the last few days. I'm doing way better again and coming back to normal life.
Again, there is nothing more important to me than to have your support in prayer and that's way I'm so thankful for all you have done for me.

I pray that God may grant all you need and a lot of blessing in return.

News from Belem

How I already announced it I'm writing this post from Belem. I arrived well in Belem and we already had our first day of class. But before I start talking about Belem and how I'm doing, I want to talk a bit more about the week before I left for Belem. We had the missionary Martin and his wife Susanne over in Barão and with them also a friend from Switzerland that is doing some volunteer work in a project up here in Belem. How ever Martin came to start of with us the agriculture project in the interior of Barão. I had the chance to go along and to help out. For some pictures, click here.
Now to what is going on today and this week. It will be an interesting week, we are having class with CLBI this week via skype. We (Tashona and I) came this last Saturday in the morning here in Belem. Saturday evening we already where at a graduation of a Bible School called "Word of Life". A student that our family knew from the time when we lived up here graduated and is planning to work in the future with my parents down in the Piaui.
Saturday also began something in my live that I could declare as one of the most difficult time in my life. Sunday it got so bad that I had to talk to some good friends and I'm thankful for the technology that we have today because through that I had a good friend that could help me and a lot of others that helped me through their prayers. Monday I had the chance to talk to someone that is also close to me and stuff are getting better now. But still I ask for your prayer because the problem still exists in my life and with God's help I can win this battle.

Well I think with all this you're again updated with what is going on. Thanks so much for your help and especially for your prayer.

The message

Just quick a update on how it went with my message last week.
I'm not a person who can plan and get ready for a message and then apply it the way I prepared it. This was also the way it went last Wednesday. I had my message planned out but when I had to share it, it didn't went the way I planned it. How ever I don't think the message was bad because of this but I wouldn't say she was the best either. But still I think that my message brought some people to think about certain things in their lives.
Here is this weeks schedule, tomorrow evening their is a other missionary and his wife coming for a few days and they are bringing a other intern from Switzerland a long, on Wednesday the Reifler Family will have some visit from Switzerland and on Friday I'm of to Belem to take my CLBI Internship class. I'll post the next message from Belem and I'll keep you update about how things are going up there.

Thanks a lot for your support (in prayer / financial)
