Wow, time really does fly!!!! It´s May already! Yesterday on March 3d it was exactly 6 years ago Jander and I got married! We only had a small celebration, we went to the shoppingmall and had lunch there!

Last week, for the first time, I helped out as a ´nurse´ at friends who had their baby last week. Gabrielle was born on Wednesday by a C-section. An they were released from the hospital on Thursday, I offered to help them out. After all, this is something we want to offer to the pregnant girls of Vida Nova as well. So I spent the night there, and Friday, helping out Dayanne and teaching Fabiano how to change nappies and give a bath. And Friday, Sandra also from our Vida Nova team took over! It was a very special experience!

In April we organized a camp for the sisters of the boys who live at the farm. We wanted to give them a time to feel like princesses, so that they would realize this weekend how much they´re worth! We had a beauty and health afternoon, but also we went to the beach and had some time studying the bible. There was only a small group of 6 girls, which made is really special, as we could really invest in them! All 6 of them gave their lifes to Jesus this weekend!

As you may know, we´re planning to go to the Unite States in June for 2 weeks to visit the project for pregnant teenagers there. (The project that gave us training here). It´s very special to see how God´s already provided for Jander and Efraim to get their new passports, and also for money to be able to travel to the Embassy in Recife. The visa interview for Jander and Efraim will be next week, may 12th, and we´d like to ask you to pray for that. Pray for the interview, that we´ll have the right documents on the right time, and that they will be granted the visa. We really do need a miracle for that as for instance we´ll need to prove we have the money to pay for our trip. We won´t need to pay for our costs on the base there, but we do still need the money for Jander´s ticket (We already have enough for mine and Efraim´s!)

With love from the 3 of us!
