It's Carnival again in Brazil! Tomorrow morning (5AM) we will load 3 cars and drive 9 hours up north to take part in a retreat with our youth group in Belo Horizante. We will be gone through Wednesday.
A couple updates -
last blog I mentioned that Harley had come into our home in expectation of getting into rehab. He is doing great! He has been through a world of change in a week and is committed to seeing this through and becoming a new kind of husband/dad. His depression has been turned to joy in an amazing way! I have started meeting one on one with his son weekly as well, who has been launched into a whole new level of reality through this experience.
we are working with a lawyer (our friend Vitinho) to set up our non-profit organization to better serve guys coming out of rehab. God has brought all kinds of connections out of nowhere to make this happen, i'll have to explain all that in another blog.
Please pray for this journey and retreat. Trips are very formative experiences for youth groups, and we want to see our kids be formed as Christ would have them to be.
Alright, happy Carnival to you all!

"We are working with a lawyer (our friend Vitinho)" Sigh. I'm so old.
Love you all! As always, we're deeply proud of you.
