On April 17th, Vitor (Ana´s brother) and Loiva were married at the Mont Serrat Baptist Church (this is the same church Ana and I were married in). It was the first wedding I have performed, but went quite smoothly. As always the bride and groom were stunning and happy as could be! Praise the Lord for this union. Please pray for their lives together!Saturday, May 2, 2009

Easter Retreat
Our 2nd Annual Easter Retreat took place at the St. Louis Farm in Novo Hamburgo, just outside of Porto Alegre. What a wonderful time of family worship and fun.
Easter Retreat
As a sweet addition to the spiritual teaching of the retreat, we always try to pass down some of our own traditions like American football. Their improvement is astonishing!
Easter Retreat
Well, I was really wanting a Dr Pepper, so I thought I might ask the Brazilian Mustang if he had some. To no avail, he was all out. But he did let me take a picture with him.
Paul Birthday Celebration
Yep, I turned 31 on April 11! To commemorate the glorious event, contrary to the ever-so-popular traditional finger food birthday parties, I requested a bar-b-cue bounty. The tradition here is that the birthday boy or girl makes and serves the food! So here we are next to the bar-b-cue pit.
New Brother in Christ
On the left is our new brother Elinton who was baptized by a local minister, Isaias, who volunteers his time at a recuperation center for young men coming out of drug-dependency. Elinton has enrolled in the Theology Course we started this year. Please pray for him in his new walk.
2nd March Celebration
At this Celebration we were coming out of a two week focus: Knowing the Message and entering into a new two-week focus: Living the Message. Each day was accompanied by a Bible verse and time of meditation. The whole six-week focus will culminate at the Easter Retreat.
