Miscellaneous Missionary

I know, that is not how one spells exams in English. However, that is exactly what is staring me in the face at this point, in Portuguese. I am starting to evaluate what to keep and what to discard from the course, how to spend my last days, and prepare for the trip home. This is a sad and glad time. I feel glad to have had the priveledge to study in such a rich and historic atmosphere. I am glad to have accomplished pretty much what I came to do. I clearly have more to learn and more practice to continue in the language, but my head is swelling as I write this with my level in the language. I have also a bit of sadness. I have made good friends here and some doors of ministry have opened up as I have begun to have good times of fellowship and Bible study with certain folks and the opportunity to share a little of my faith with my fellow students and my teachers. I will also miss Portugal. I have now a little bit of Portuguese culture that has become a part of me.

Please pray for my future plans and support raising in the coming year.
Please pray for the exam as it is on May 31 all day.
Please pray for my preparation and travels which are coming very fast.
Praise for the learning God has allowed me to do.
Praise the Lord for the great experience.
