The Prom!

The High School wanted a Prom again... so I got it all fixed up for them! :) It was really a very nice evening! Amanda was my Right Hand Gal... plus some!!! She was AMAZING! I learned a new decoration trick using tissue paper, which was FAR better than just balloons. It was SO NICE... the new campus can be quickly turned into a very romantic, peaceful place at night! We cut off all the lights, and put some spotlights up on some of our trees. We "MADE" a dance floor by enclosing an open patio area with some Black TNT (paper/plastic like stuff - we use it for everything! and it's super cheap!). It was really Incredible! The kids were very surprised that we could make the school, NOT feel like the School! :) They helped out with some of the planning, and a little of the decorations and invitations and all! It was very nice!!! :) Very Memorable! :)

A NEW PASTOR!!

GOD IS FAITHUL!! GOD IS TRUE TO HIS PROMISES!!

We are thankfully celebrating because our church has voted on and called a new pastor! We have had an interim pastor for the past 18 months, and he and his wife are really nice people! But... we are so thankful to have a new Pastor heading to the International Baptist Church. Mark & Lydia are incredible people! We were fortunate to spend a great deal of time with them while they visited Brasilia. He preaches and teaches with God-given Authority and challenges us to study more indepthly! Please pray for them as they transition to Brasilia, and into our VERY Multicultural church... where Baptist is on the sign and in the doctorine... but that's about it! :) We have almost every tongue, tribe, and nation represented... so no one really fits into a "Baptist" box. Praise the LORD that He doesn't require that of us!! :) Praise the Lord that HE allows us to have different views... yet ONE ETERNAL SALVATION PATH!! and ONE TRUE SOURCE!! :)
