: 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:
