Life seems to be a little chaotic at the moment. It’s been awhile, but I couldn’t quite gather myself recently to put this altogether until today. So here it goes…

I left Brazil on the fifth of May to come back to the states for a few weeks and take part in some pretty climactic events in a few lives that I am incredibly close to. The weeks flew and in the process I began the paperwork for a new visa to gain proper credential to re-enter the country come the seventeenth of June. Plans didn’t pan out so smoothly.

I am currently in the Bay area and will remain here and in southern California mostly for some three months due to the volunteer visa process and the research that must be carried on for me to obtain it. Security has gone up at all consulates recently so the process has been drawn out quite a bit leaving many people hanging in the balance.

The last week I have been floundering to find what I am to make of the situation beings that I left my students and everyone/thing that is dear to me back in Brazil. I am learning great lessons of patience as there is nothing I can now do about the situation I am in except make responsible choices both for my students and myself for the benefit of Gods work.

I will take up working again in southern California to be able to save since it isn’t fair to be living off of missionary funds while I am here in the states. Eventually, when God wills it I will be back in Brazil to tie up loose ends and make sure that there is a structure that has been left through the work that God brought me to. We shall see. I am trying desperately to keep my head upward as this has been an incredibly rough spot. He has a purpose in all things.

Thank you everyone who has been supportive and remains to be through this process.

To my financial supporters: Thank you for truckin’ through this with me. I will continue to gather monetary donations for the benefit of the school. I would like us to be able to equip the school with their immediate needs, forever being school materials and funds for new uniforms for the school. The monthly goals (refer to chart) will remain the same, as the budget would be equivalent counting in new expenses removing me from the situation. Please be in contact if you have any further questions.
