No easy way to get back to "normal"... When the group leaves and when Sarah left, well thats what I would call a "low point"... Lots of sad faces and remembering moments where we were sharing with others and talking about how God used them and touched lives! Smiles, but sad hearts. Cant say I know what its like to climb a mountain, but I do believe its accurate to call our time with others "mountain top" experiences. The truth is though we cant "live on the mountain tops". Life is the "climbing" and the "trailing through the valleys".
Today we had a good crowed at Waterfall of Souls. There were even a couple of guys in the mix.
This little fellow was sitting along the road... I know you have seen cows before, but he was such a cute fellow we just had to snap his picture.
On the way to Waterfall every Sunday we pass a gas station where we stop for a break each week, and there is a store that makes those "cement" yard decorations. In the middle of everything is this 20 foot tall "jesus statue". I guess its supposed to look like the one in Rio, but it is a poor replica. Its one of those objects that you wonder, "who would buy such a thing", but then back home in Asheboro, N.C. there is an Army Navy surplus store that sells cannons for $25,000 that have no practicle purpose whatsoever... Anyway, if youre in the market for a 20 foot jesus for your front lawn bring your pick up truck down and we will "hook you up"! You can put it right next to your cannon!
Back in Contagem at my home church here the church has remodeled a bit and just had a drop ceiling installed. My, My, arent we getting fancy!
Pastor Wesley is being given an opportunity to go to Cuba to minister, so please keep him in your prayers.

I have to say it again! Thanks for putting up pictures so we can see what is happening while we are back home. The footnotes are too funny! I like a good sense of humor!!!I hope the families that we all met with are on fire for Jesus! Thanks for keeping us posted on your lives!

We join you in rejoicing those mountain top experiences we shared with you. We will continue to keep you in our prayers as you climb those mountains and trail through the valleys. We miss you so much and send lots of love and hugs your way....
Thank you for the comments and the prayers!
