Bon dia! (Good morning) Thank you for your prayers over our information meeting last night. We signed up 27 readers! Since the concept of an information meeting/orientation makes no sense to Brazilians, that is a huge number. There are many more readers that have responded to the advertising but did not attend last night so we will be calling them to schedule their sessions. Through the advertising for the LST teams, over 30 people whose English is non-existent or very low have signed up for an introductory English class that Carrie Gotcher will teach on Tues and Thurs evenings!
It was such an exciting moment to finally meet and see the faces of those who we have been praying for over the last few months. It's very difficult to keep our emotions in check while chatting with them because they have no idea of our attachment to them through prayer before we ever get here. It's a little like finally meeting that sweet baby that you've been waiting for for 9 months!
We have our first team devotional at 9 this morning then head out for our 25 minute walk to the church for our first reading sessions. My first reader will be Renata who is the Portuguese teacher to Jill Nichols, one of the Niteroi mission team. Very excited!
