Our Farewell in Curitiba

We arrived back in Curitiba, on Saturday, in time for James to participate in a men's meeting and a final youth meeting.

Sunday Morning James preached his last message at Nova Vida. That afternoon we had a churrasco for lunch. We all gathered at Pr. Alberto's house for most of the afternoon and had a wonderful time.

The youth group sang a farewell song for us and that evening many shared testimonies that were such an encouragement.


Here are just some recent Nova Vida pictures:

Jer drinking his after-service coffee (watered down of course!)

James singing with his Dad

Hannah being loved

Daniel with his best friend Leo

We are so thankful for our time in Curitiba. We were blessed to live close to several missionary couples from whom we learned much. Our time with the people of Nova Vida was a special blessing; they accepted us and loved us when most of us spoke not one word of their language.
