Dear Friends,
Hello, this will just be a quick e-mail. Thanks to all of you who have
been remembering us in your prayers. We are in Brazil. We got back from
the US the end of November and still have 2 and a half months of
furlough before we have to be back in Manaus.
Yesterday afternoon we got back to my parent's place in Anápolis Brazil.
We had been traveling and had the privilege of spending Christmas with
my family and then spending New Year's with João's family.
João left early this morning to do some things in town and around 8:20
he had a really bad accident. Another man was driving at high speed and
rammed in to João on the passanger's side. Praise the Lord João's life
was spared. He came out with only a broken nail and a little scratch on
his finger. I don't even want to think of what could have happened to
him or what would have happened if I or the boys had been in the car.
All I can do is thank God for sparing my husband's life.
The car was totaled! Praise the Lord the other man payed the market
price for a car of that year. Please pray we can find another car as we
still have traveling to do and it will be hard to find another car like
ours for the price we got on it and all we had put into it already. Our
car was in good conditions as we had had the motor re-done the beginning
of last year and also it had air-conditioning. Air conditioning is a
luxury in Brazil but a necessity for the hot humid weather in Manaus.
God had supplied this car when Nathan was a little over a year old and
we got it for a very good price. It was hard to see them take it away!!!!
We appreciate your prayers and please praise God along with us for
sparing João's life.
Because of Jesus, João, Hope, Nathan & Ryan
I'm attaching a few pictures of the accident for you to see. If you have
facebook I've put more on our facebook. My facebook name is Hope Fread
Rodrigues.
