Lashonda returned to Henderson on May 24 to do a short course at Freed-Hardeman University. Vinícius and Adam stayed here
for a few more days. It was great having them with us. Adam’s vocabulary grew a
lot in English and Portuguese while they were here. Our relationship with all three was very good.

David, Wren and Judah were
with us for three marvelous weeks. It was great being with them again as well. David
did some filming and editing for the television program while he was here. Judah has grown
and matured very much since we saw him last August. He walked at nine months,
began running immediately and has not slowed down since then. He is very
active, just like his dad was at this age. He gets into everything, and does it
with all his might. May he be the same way in his Christian life in the future.
David and Wren are great parents, as are Vinícius and Lashonda. May the Lord
bless all of them.

The problem in Eddison’s
leg and hip seems to be completely healed, along with his extreme sinusitis and
rhinitis symptoms. He is destined to suffer these respiratory maladies for the
rest of his life, but the headaches are less often and the pain and facial
pressure less intense than earlier. Who would have thought that a slight case
of asthma would complicate so much the symptoms of these problems?

Bryan and Marlinda were
helpers and translators in the Vacation
Bible School
at the Eldorado congregation this week. They loved it. See pictures of the
event at http://picasaweb.google.com/cocarelli/MercadoDeJerusalM.

The Children’s Home in Belo Horizonte is getting
closer and closer to reality. Regular meetings are being held to elect the
board of directors, prepare the legal documents and other necessary things. A
wall is being built around the property and the city is preparing and paving
the streets around it. We look forward to receiving the children and bringing
them up to do His will.

The National Bible
School begins a new
quarter of classes next week. José Almeida teaches BIBLICAL GEOGRAPHY, Eddison teaches
THE GENERAL EPISTLES, F.H. Gates teaches THE PRISON EPISTLES and Tiago de Jesus
teaches REVELATION, PART II. Please pray that we relate God’s true message to
our students, who will then relate it to their congregations and to the world.
Our new office and library space is almost finished. The thermal ceiling was
installed this week. We look forward to receiving all of our files, books, etc.
from Campo Grande,
where they have been stored for several years, and moving what we have here into
this new space. The home office of the National Bible School will then be completely moved to Belo Horizonte and we can
do a much better job of carrying it forward.

Eddison continues preaching in several local congregations, doing follow-up
work with new Christians, leading the mid-week Bible study group in our home, counseling
several couples and meeting regularly with several ministry leaders to listen
to them, encourage them, and guide them as they do their work. Pray with us.

God continues to make
Himself known, and His presence felt, among us. Praise Him forever!
