Completed Theology Course
Three men at the half-way house recently completed a theology course. Pictured here is Nathaniel.
A New Home
Here’s my brother Kile and sister-in-law Lettie. He is a the morning director for KTXS and she is a pre-school teacher and professional photographer. We are so happy that they have bought a new house in Abilene! Sweet! What a huge blessing from the Father! I can’t wait to see it for myself.
Libertadores 2010
Here I am with my father-in-law at International Stadium. The thing is- Luiz is a fanatic for the rival team (Gremio). He even has a sign in his kitchen that says: If you are for Gremio then may God bless you, but if you are for International may God forgive you! He is a great example of humility to accept my invitation to go with me to a game in the South American tournament.
New Family Member
You probably recognize this couple since I posted several pictures of their wedding last year- my brother-in-law Vitor and his wife Loiva. We are so thrilled that Loiva is pregnant! Theirs is an amazing story of faith and persistence. This couple put before the Lord that they wanted the blessing of children, but little did they know how hard it would be. After trying for a year, she finally got pregnant, but only to lose the baby very early in the pregnancy. Even after this hard loss they still asked the Lord for the blessing of children. Her doctor had a hard talk with them both and told Lovia she has endometriosis, and that it was very unlikely that she would get pregnant naturally. So she did In Vitro but lost that baby too! Still they asked the Lord for the blessing of children. After two hard losses and the temptation of giving up, Loiva got pregnant again, but this time she has made it to the third trimester! How great is that! It’s God great. After trying everything medically possible to no avail, the Lord provided them a child exactly when he wanted them to have one. His name will be John Vitor and is due in June.
