Visas approved

Hello!  We have been enjoying Northern California at Z's parents' for three weeks now.  Z has been watching history films galore, and I have started a sewing project.  We found out a few days ago that our work visas to Brazil have finally been approved.  So, we are in the midst of making plans to go back mid-March.  Thank you for your prayers!  I pray that we can return to the school in Rio like the following prophecy from Isaiah 55:

You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace.

The mountains and hills will burst into song before you,

and all the trees in the field will clap their hands.

Instead of the thornbush will grown the pine tree,

and instead of briers the myrtle will grow.

This will be for the LORD's renown,

for an everlasting sign,

which will not be destroyed.'"
