Oi,
Hello from Brazil on a Saturday night. Today was our Third day of reading sessions with our new friends here in Salvador. Things are going very well, we have readers that are returning LST participants while many are brand new to this course. It is exciting to see all the people that God is bringing to these classes. We have had several people who have come "just off the street"- they have seen an LST poster or flyer somewhere and have come to sign up. Some readers have already told their friends about the course and they too have come. The people here are all very friendly and welcoming, they want us to learn their language just as much as they want to learn ours! Many of our readers will come early for their classes and afterwards stay behind just to visit and "hang out." Yesterday we studied with 18 people, and as of today we had 49 people signed up to take part.

Thank-you all for your prayers and encouragement. It has been a very busy week as we have arrived in Salvador and have been adjusting to our home for the next 6 weeks. We have been so blessed by all of you and by the people here as well and we know that all blessings come from our Father in Heaven and we are so Thankful to Him.

Tchau for now :)
J.K.R.S.
