Blumenau
Last Saturday, 18 Feb, we visited Blumenau for the first time since Rodrigo and Giana's wedding on 3 July 2005. And apart from one Saturday early in January when we were just too tired to think about going, this was the first chance - the first free Saturday in all this time. So, apart from the visit of a few members of the group over there for our special day on Exodus, also in July last year, we have had no direct contact with anyone in all his time. However, MSN Messenger has been worth its weight. (Though what Messenger weighs I really couldn't say!)
We went over in the morning - a beautiful Santa Catarina morning, and had a great lunch, with Stefan and Jana, at Marlon and Gabi's. After lunch the
galera arrived - or a good proportion. We saw Tiago and Jamili's baby, Davi, for the first time. Marcos came with his mother, Dona Margot. Kabelo and Viviane arrived too late for the study - we were actually just leaving, but it was good to see them.
It has been a long time, but getting back to teaching the Word with this group it felt as if we had never been away. Please pray that we might be able to maintain some level of regular contact this year.
