Week 5




We hosted our first dinner at our home for our brasileiro neighbors. They love ranch dressing (not found here in Brazil). So if anyone wants to mail us some packets, we have lots of friends to share it with. With "Good Friday" and "Easter" coming up we had an opportunity to ask them about their beliefs. After they explained a interesting mix of religiosity I(Emily) was able to share the Gospel with them, emphasizing a lot about the death and resurrection of Christ. They listened and seemed to want to continue the conversation at another time. Please pray for more opportunities to share.

Wilma (Vilma in Portuguese) came on Thursday to clean our home and teach us how to make rice the Brazilian way.

Karis is still into everything and now loves sleeping on her belly. She even tucks her legs up under her with her butt up in the air. Sooo cute!

Today is "Good Friday" so we didn't have class and are planning a drive out to the countryside.

That's how Lara sleeps, too! Love it. I'm excited that you're already beginning to establish relationships with your neighbors. Will be praying for them. Looking forward to seeing pics of the countryside!

I'm delurking to give you a recipe. My family attends church where Steven used to go. My husband heard you guys speak at the missions conference and we've been praying for you all ever since.

Anyway, I make my own ranch dressing mix and then you just add the wet ingredients to it. It actually tastes really really good...without the extra non good for you stuff. It's on Recipezaar. Here's the link (not sure if it will show up in the posts but I'll try): http://www.recipezaar.com/recipe/Ranch-Dressing-Mix-Plus-2836

Maybe you can find all the ingredients there...not sure.
