May this email find you well. First of all, thank you again for being part of my life all these years (42 exactly).

I am fine and working a lot as an English teacher but did not forget the needed mental deficient of person like Vinicius, 25 years old. Plus, a couple of simple people who need help with the Portuguese and help finding better jobs. If they come and I am able, the answer is “yes”.

Now about Julianna. She is growing rather fast in the Word of God and going to church regularly which is very good. She has a boyfriend but the relationship is going too fast so problems and uncertainties appear quickly.

The biggest problem is she is at home with her Mom. It is a “she said” stories but how to believe if I do not know her or her house. Yesterday things got very hot and she almost left the house. So today I sent a wonderful message by Max Luccado and it fit perfectly to her situation. I started writing to her, shared the message and told her that I was praying for her to stay in the house and be sweet and calm to her mom because the Lord will find a way. Also, shared some verses to calm her down.

My surprise was to find out that she was in church this morning and already calm. Today is a City Holiday, São Paulo’s Birthday. So, I was happy she was already calm and collected.

She is a blessing and I know that new ones in Christ are a handful. It is ok because I know you and many others are praying for us—let me tell you that we really need. Thanks again!
