Beach Party

You probably are noticing at a quick glance that you see no photos of the beach here. We had light rain and a cool breeze so we moved the party to the church building at the last minute and still had over 50 in attendance! We had about 35 readers and guests and the rest were church members there to interact with our readers.

Quite a crowd!

Jonah Roberts age 4 (who decided this week that his name is "Foxy" and insists that he be addressed accordingly) can play a mean game of balloon futball

Have you ever played "Take A Hike" in a big circle of 50+ people in two different languages? It works and is a blast! The words that Carrie was using for "go" sounded just like "John Travolta" so that's what we listened for each round. The Brazilians thought that was hilarious.

The party was our last opportunity to see a few of our readers that can't come for reading sessions today. Some brought gifts for us and letters from the heart, things we will keep forever.

Please pray for our final reading sessions today. Patrick and I both have new readers coming today for the first time. Isn't it interesting that just when we are in "shutting down mode", God shows us that He is still making all things new. Thank You, Lord!


This in NOT a photo of our party. It's a street festival we walked through on the way home from the party. It was really late, we were dead on our feet, but that didn't stop up from trying a few of the food items sold at the festival! LST Warriors!!
