Greyce's Baptism - 4 February 2007
The first major church event after our return was Greyce's baptism. Historic not just for her but for all of us - we are rather stronger on weddings than baptisms, this being the first. Greyce herself will be marrying Rafael next month, God willing, and we would value prayers for them as a couple.
Her Christian growth under the word has been remarkable, and we expect great things of this couple in the long term, by God's grace.
Kito and Anna outside their home - 3 February
We are very conscious that many have prayed for Marquito and Anna through the last months. After their wedding they lived for a short period in a flat at the North of the island, owned by family, but it was not in any way a suitable location with Anna working in Agronômica. Then, while we were in the UK, they were in our flat - a useful arrangement for all parties. Just as we came back, this little rented house came back on the market. They had fallen in love with it some time ago but were beaten to it by another girl, who has suddenly left. Kito and Anna moved in last week and are blissfully happy in their new home. The house is delightful - perfect in itself, and in a quiet and beautiful neighbourhood, about 15 minutes walk from us. We are all thankful and happy with them!
