Obs. Nunca recebi um 13º salário nesses 9 anos que estou em missões em tempo integral - Nao que isso importe tanto mas só pra constar... Por favor ore conosco nesse sentido. Obrigado, Thomas.
English version below:
I must confess that I haven't been well lately, I've been feeling sad and allowing some external circumstances to hit me and I hope that by sharing this it will help me in this process. Everywhere we walk about now in Brazil, streets, stores, family homes and others we hear excited people talking about what they are going to do with their 13th salary (a mandatory/by law - extra wage that every Brazilian worker gets at the end of every year) and every time I hear those type of conversations I remember like a flash that we have been struggling so much with our financial support especially as it has decreased in more than 75% ever since we arrived in our home land. It's been hard to enjoy ourselves in Brazil after 3 straight years in Africa and I found myself wondering... What will this be, is this the Lord confirming through this struggle that our place is in Africa and that we must go back? (by the way we are) Or will there be any other purpose I cannot see? Please pray with us in that sense...
P.S. I never received a 13th salary ever since I became a full time missionary - not that it matter that much, just for the record...
