A few months ago, Waleska began a Saturday Bible study with her younger sister Patricia. Two weeks ago, Patricia and her friend Raquel B. came to our house. They shared that they needed to change their lives, but were not ready to do so yet; they did not want to be hypocritical and choose to follow Jesus while continuing in their same old vices and behaviors. They ended the prayer session asking for God to give them a sign that they should change. Be careful what you pray for because it might happen!
Last Sunday, we received a phone call from Patricia asking for help for her, Raquel, and a third friend, Sabrina. That phone call, resultant from a series of strange but true events in their lives., led to seven days of intense conversation, prayer, and Bible study, and to her baptism two days ago!
It was a pretty tight fit, being in a bathtub and all.! We did the baptism at our friends Mark and Ju's house, they are missionaries working in the east zone of Porto Alegre. Thanks for the props guys!
Our nephew Cassiano was happy to see his mom being baptized! He kept commenting, "You're too big to be baptized - only little people can do that!"
This is the crew that was involved in our marathon week of study and prayer. On the far left is Raquel B., and on the far right is Sabrina; both are friends of Patricia's that I mentioned earlier. Moving inward from left is Raquel G. and from right is Clarice; they participate in our house church network and were instrumental in conversing and praying with these girls during our week. And front and center, Waleska and Patricia.
That's a happy family! Praise God for Patricia's decision, and continue to pray for her as she strives to follow Jesus as her Lord! Also, pray for Raquel B. as she rededicates her life to Jesus, and for Sabrina as she desires to study the Bible more!

Praise God that she has followed His call! Please hug her neck for us!
Praise the Lord Jesus Christ who loves and gave His precious life for ours. I'm very happy for the whole family.
