July has gone by very quickly. We were able to return to the States for ministry business, attend our sending church, and spend time with many of our ministry supporters, which is always such a blessing. We were also able to meet with board members in the USA and enjoy some time with family.
July is the middle of winter in Brazil, making it a good time for us to complete much-needed improvements to the facilities and prepare for the upcoming season. While we were in the States, we hired someone to care for the animals and keep an eye on the contractors while work was being completed.
After returning to Brazil, we had the privilege of hosting some of our IMB missionary friends for the day. They are serving in a city about a two-hour drive from our facility. It was a blessing to spend time together and enjoy some fellowship.
As always, we would like to thank all of our ministry supporters. We had a wonderful time seeing many of you while we were in the States. We give glory to God for your continued prayers, encouragement, and faithful giving. Your support allows us to continue the work God has called us to do here in Brazil.
In our Savior’s service,
Guta and Jim
