We were going to visit the publishing house this weekend, but Jeremy's car broke down. We were also going to go street preaching on Saturday, but the weather turned sour, (not to mention, I spent most of the day at the police station--but that's another story which I'll mention below the video).

God blessed Saturday, however, and we were able to visit the lawyer, Zacharias. He is now a believer, but needs much help understanding the Bible. God granted me great liberty in speaking to him about his purpose in this life. It is such a joy to watch God miraculously work through you!

Below is a video of me teaching my first Sunday School lesson in Portuguese. It was a step of faith, and God honored it. The Portuguese was rough, but this effort really helped me and increased my confidence. Praise the Lord! I want to personally thank each of you for praying so much for our language studies!

Our time at the police station was due to to a robbed vehicle. Missionary Eddie Johnson's van was stolen a couple days before. Miraculously, the police found it on the other side of São Paulo! That is practically unheard of here. We stayed at the station until Eddie could retrieve it. Praise the Lord who worked that out!

Just some advice. When in São Paulo, make sure you don't put things where thieves want to break through and steal!
