The school semester finally started in early Febuary and quickly stopped for a week vacation. With only two weeks of school in we are on vacation for Carnaval (Marti Grau). We have been blessed to have Betsy with us helping teach this semester. She is from Brandywine Community Church and we will soon be joined by Ruth and Paul Jessup. They will also be helping teach at the international school this semester. We had a bit of a panic moment when a teacher that was suppose to come from Great Britain backed out at the last minute. But, God has been very faithful to bring wonderful teachers to help us. We are looking forward to getting to know the Jessups. They are a young married couple so it will be nice to have a couple to hang out with. I think we are slightly older than they are and married longer.
We went with the Community church of Amexias to a camp for this vacation. We stayed with them for 2 days and played soccer, swam, and had devotions together. It was a great time and next year Pastor Ricardo wants to start a camp for his church (Lagoa de Itaenga where we go to church). So, this was most likely the last year we will be going with Amexias.
We will upload a video here in the next week that shows both Lindsay's classroom and kids and Jeff's classroom and kids.(well at least one grade of kids) Until then, thank you everyone for your prayers and support. We have been spiritually attacked already a few times this year so please keep praying for us as we are doing God's work here in NE Brazil.
-Jeff & Lindsay
