Thankful!

The last two weeks of our two months teaching trip were in Australia. I had never been in Australia before, and what a special time we had! We want to thank a few special people:

• Jillie, who gave us such a special first two days in Australia, she really pampered us, it made our start unforgettable, we enjoyed it so much!

• Cloe and Niki who gave themselves 24/7 to make the Children at Risk School a great success, who helped each of the students in a personal way so they would be equipped for their various ministries, who took care of us in all the little details and way beyond, and who are living to make God happy with their obedience and commitment.

• The students, it was a privilege to get to know you and to be able to invest a little bit in your lives and your work with children, (in Australia, Thailand, and other places where He will take you), by teaching some of the lessons we have learned ourselves over the years.

• Rick and Lynne, who offered us their warm hospitality on our long journey back to Brazil for a day and a night at their home in England. What a wonderful friendship, already for decades!

Thank you all! We are so blessed! And above all we thank God for the great people and friendships that He brought our way, for His care for us throughout this long journey and for His blessings.

And there was still another blessing when we arrived back in Brazil: Eva, the daughter of Michele and Romeu was born, which is already our sixth grandchild. What a wealth! It is a beautiful little doll with lots of black hair. There were some complications with the birth, so she ended up having a cesarean. But fortunately mother and daughter are both in good health, and Michele and Romeu with Igor and Eva are staying now a couple of weeks with us in Belo Horizonte. Double fun!

We wish you all God's abundant blessings,

Johan and Jeannette
