Olá!

God is faithful everywhere! We've been in Portugal for two weeks ​now, and seriously I feel as though God has been holding us everyday. We are so blessed! Here are SOME of the awesome ways God has said, "Estou com vocês", which is Portuguese for "I am with you."

-Within ONE week we found and moved into the PERFECT apartment. They lowered the rent price, it is furnished, there are stores on the bottom floor of the buildings; it's nick-named "lego land"...what more could you want?

-An AMAZING family, who are also moving to Mozambique, literally arrived in Portugal 4 weeks before we did and have been a huge blessing to us. You can creep on them here. 

​-We have an awesome tutor. Seriously, he's LEGIT! Video to come soon so you can learn with us or laugh at us...which ever you choose. 

-Emotionally we have done great. With Easter, and my (Andrea) birthday recently, it could have been a tough first couple of weeks, but we have felt, "the peace that surpasses ALL understanding," and been affirmed that we are in the will of God over and over. ​

Jesus loves us. He loves you. He is alive. ​

(dis)location, location, location

Yep, Matt dislocated his shoulder...again, this time playing ultimate frisbee, as equally an uninteresting story as last time's tubing incident. So, we've been telling people he was fighting the devil, shark bite, etc. He's sore, but feeling better. (Click the picture to see the identity of the guy responsible...he made up for it by driving us to the ER, and getting Matt Starbucks.)

​We've been on the road SO much these past few weeks with services and the sectional council tour. North Little Rock 1st has graciously let us move into their AMAZING missions house, so we now have a place to ourselves, and a central location to crash. We've been blessed to have awesome parents, family, and churches to help make iteration smooth. 

We still do not have an official departure date, BUT we did get our visas for Portugal in the mail TODAY! Praise God!!! Please pray with us as we only lack a handful of pledges to be at 100%! ​
