Tomorrow, God willing, we will go to Lages for the wedding of Patty and Taybar. Patty is Elisa's big sister; Taybar is one of the pastors at the Renewed Baptist Church, Blumenau. The two sisters started to come to the Peregrinos back in April, and Elisa was the first new member in the period of growth we have experienced. We already knew Taybar a little through MEUNI, but the friendship and contact has grown, leading to Andrew's involvement in the CEFORM, which Taybar runs. Taybar ministered the word to the Peregrinos in July. The girls have been a great encouragement to us over the year, and we look forward to Patty's wedding, although not to losing her!
Lages is the furthest inland we have ever been in Santa Catarina; even so, only 3 hours drive. We are taking Mila and Vinícius, and returning with Elisa and the happy couple! Please pray for the wedding, and for safe journeys for all guests. We plan to stay overnight, returning for the Peregrinos' meeting (Genesis 13), and, afterwards, to pick up Bec and Tom at Florianópolis airport.
