Hey you all!


I hope everything is going well with you all there!!!


So, this is what we're up to. Many great things happened this month.

To start off our week, we both teach Sunday School for the 15-18 year olds, then at 5pm we teach a class to the Worship Ministry at our church. Here are some of the crazy youth from our church!!!



Our church's Worship Ministry has been going through some restructuring so as part of this, our parents suggested that we translate the School of Worship material from Christ for the Nations and teach it to the Worship Leaders and to the Worship Team. So we honor our parents and obey them because we wanna have a long life...just kidding!

This is exciting but sometimes challenging because not everyone wants to be there. Some understand that there is always more to learn, but some think they know it all, and would rather not listen to two preacher's kids talk about worship just because they have studied about it for two years. Well, even Jesus said he wasn't well received in his home town, but we know we are doing our part. If they choose ot receive it or not, it's not up to us. We know that this is good training because most of the places we will go outside of our home church, people will be open and receptive.

We are enjoying it, having a good time, and learning through the process.










We have not only been involved in church activities, but both of us are also trying to improve our musicla abilities. Both of us are taking voice lessons with our teacher Polianna (she has an amazing voice and has a trio with her other 2 sisters which by the way also sing very well), and Jesuan is taking electric guitar with Wellington (he's one of the best electric guitar players in the city). This is exciting because we have been practicing the songs we want on the CD with our voice teacher. As you know we are planning on recording soon, we are just waiting for some last details to be solved. As soon as we know for sure, we will tell you ok...We wouldn't leave you out on that one. So this has been exciting!!!

And for all that think that we need a break. We do take breaks to breath and relax by swimming pools after all, it's winter here...hehehe...in family time, so here's a picture of the of the 3 of us having some fried chicken and sodas.


Thanks for keeping us in your prayers. IHope to hear from you!
God Bless! Peace!

Your friends from Brazil!
