Carol

After the first full day of classes, we are amazed at how well the students are doing. Not only can we see an improvement in their English but also in the relationships that they are building with their fellow students and with the team. It is awesome to see how Christ is the bond that pulls and holds a group of strangers together.

I would like to tell you about an amazing story of how one of the students arrived here. Carol is from Mexico and is planning on serving in India. On the day that she was to leave Mexico to begin her travels to Vicosa she still had not received her visa from Brazil. She went to the Brazilian embassy in the morning and explained to the officials that she was scheduled to leave that day for Brazil. They told her that it would not be ready until at least 3 pm. When she told them that her flight was at 3:30 they said they could not help her. Carol began to pray and asked God to help her. At that moment a man walked up to her and told her to sign a paper. She did not know what it was for but signed it anyway. He then handed her her passport with her visa and told her to have a nice trip. She smiled and said thank you and then left praising God for the miracle He had performed.

Over the next couple of days I will share more with you about Carol's story.

Please pray that God will continue to reveal himself to us.

Blessings from Brazil,
Ann
