After a bit of a blog break, we’re back! Thanks for not giving up on us.
So, we’re in our new house now, and we love it! We now have a bed, closet, oven, fridge, table… and a couch that we received today! Wahoo! Our major lacking right now is Internet, thus the communication drop. Sorry! But we will have that installed as soon as we can. Also, we have pics of the house to show you, but after a half hour of trying I am finding that the internet here is not going to tolerate any such picture nonsense today. So... I'll try again another day!
It is great being able to have our own pad to invite people into! Currently in house we are hosting an open lunch on Tuesdays for any visitors who can come on their lunch hour from work (targeting ages 20 – 30 something), our youth group on Thursday nights, and our young professionals Bible study on Saturday nights. Our youth group also uses our house to host a baby-sitting service during the married couples meetings.
It may seem redundant to be posting about our home again… but we are just so dang excited about it!
On March 22nd we are having a special party at our home. We’re calling it the DEDICATION Par-te. We are inviting all of our friends – from church, from the gym, from the market, from our favorite juice place, etc – to come and be blessed by what God has blessed us with. We want to take a night and publicly declare that the house will be used for God’s ministry in Itu.
So please be praying for this event. Pray that the amazing love of God will be in that place and in our hearts!
We love you, each of you, so much. Thank you for your support. We would not be here without your willingness to contribute.
Mark and Ali

HEY! You posted again!!! At long last *laughs*! I am so glad to here you guys are settling in; I am excited to see pictures!!! I will try to email you soon. Lots of love!
I think you should call the party at your house "Tera's birthday party even though she is in DC and not Brazil and the people invited to the party don't know who she is." Haha--just kidding. It's great to hear that the two of you are doing well! We love and miss you here.
Will be praying for your house blessing event. Ohio blessings coming your way! May God be well pleased and honored through this special event.
