John invited his family over for church on Sunday. You may remember that before we left for Brazil he baptized his dad and our niece's boyfriend, whom he later married to our niece. Since then, his dad's wife has been baptized and is attending a local church. His dad is now in better spirits than we've ever seen him, and our niece and her husband are happy together and being great parents to their two year old. We couldn't be prouder.
It was great to see how the family is growing together since our last visit. John reminded them that together we are the church and suggested that they meet together regularly to worship God and encourage one another.
John's sister Gina invited her friend, who was baptized in the bathtub that same morning. It turned out to be the best day of our furlough yet.
