Joao & Hope Rodrigues

Dear Friends,
Hello, it has been a while since we last wrote you letting you all know we are still up and going!! Praise the Lord we are all fine!!
We have been in the tribe since the 24th of January and if all goes well will be here until the beginning of August as João was invited to go to a course the mission is offering in Manaus. We plan on going out as a family and also take advantage of sometime afterwards to rest away from all the activities of the tribe.

The boys are both well!! We are so thankful for that as life is a lot easier when we are all healthy.  Joao has been trying to spend as much time as possible to learn more and more of the language and be out with the people. Pray for him as it is not an easy task!! Just the part of learning a new language is not easy and besides that the Yanomami people are very demanding of you. It is a whole other culture and we are always learning new things!!! Praise the Lord even though it is not always easy we are very
encouraged and thankful for the wonderful and beautiful work God has been doing in the lives of his children here. We have been very encouraged to see how God is working!!! Like us they have their trials and hardships, but they are learning to walk on their own.

We want to thank each of you who have stood behind us in prayer and financially making it possible for us to go and stay where we are!!!! We have proven daily of God's love and faithfulness.

Thank you all!!! Because of Jesus, Hope4the4Rodrigues
