Hello all at Crossover,
I miss the regular fellowship alot! I just wanted to do a Bill update for those who don't know what's going on in my life. Please, keep me in prayer for a car and job. Thanks.
I want those who know me and have been my Christian family for 5+ years now to understand my latest goal. I am currently studying the Portuguese language. There are several reasons but the main one is that I am inwardly drawn to it. Also, when I apply myself to it I have discovered successes that push me forward. I realize that I have alot of hard work ahead of me, and won't presume any success that isn't really there. I don't plan to get ahead of myself. Please pray for me as my current goal is to go to Curitiba, Parana, in Southern Brasil, to live there and absorb the language. I truly believe that God is giving me a greenlight on this. As of now, I am still meeting the locals in Curitiba. So far about a dozen or so, but some are priests and one is a Baptist Pastor. (He actually lives here but is from Curitiba-he will be finding me brothers to speak the language with before I go to Curitiba). If you find me popping into your brain as you say your prayers, now you will know sort of where I'm headed. I am praising God also for the brothers I've already met. Most of them are eager for me to come down there and stay with them, even if just for a vacation. May God's will be done! Thanks for praying, Bill
P.S. If any of you know any Brasilian brothers who enjoy speaking their native language, feel free to share my email address with them, or the following attatchment:
