Congratulations, you are approved for Citizenship! Those were wonderful words to hear this morning! I am so relieved and thankful! Things are on track as we continue to move forward and prepare for what is ahead.
I love that we are here for summer, and that we get to enjoy the sunshine (even though it really hasn't been that sunny), the pool and all the awesome summer stuff, but also get to come into our air conditioned home and sleep without melting under our covers! Oh how I missed AC while we were in Brazil.
We were able to spend a few days in Colorado with some of our family this past month, and it was amazing! How much beauty God has put into this world for our eyes to see and for us to enjoy. We took several walks, hiked, ate, talked, got on each other's nerves, of course, and we laughed and appreciated the opportunity to be together. Family is a gift!
We leave for Brazil this Wednesday for 2 weeks to do some planning, working on documentation, preaching, filming, dreaming, etc... We have a TON of stuff to fit into these 15 days, and it'll take a miracle to get it all done! Please pray for us, and also pray that my voice would hold up. The interpreting non-stop can be hard and I usually loose my voice for a few days, but we can't have that happening this time! Also, pray for the paperwork to move forward without holdups (Brazil has a lot of bureaucracy), for favor, for clear direction and for wisdom. We absolutely don't want to do ANYTHING outside of what God has planned for us. There are many opportunities, and we want to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit in ALL things.
I pray that you are enjoying this summer, enjoying your family, delighting in the love that Our Heavenly Father wants to pour over your life everyday! Please know how much He loves you and how amazing and precious you really are in His eyes!
Much love,
Débora
