Dear Teresa,

Cool that you could visit with Wolfgang...tell me all about it. It seems to us that God is growing our "house church" faster than we expected. Besides hearing from others that the people invovled in our group are already telling others that they attend church at "Scott and Patsy's house", we already have our first "daughter" coming to live with us for a few months. Let me explain a little more about what God has been asking of us. During our Kaleo camp Dwayne spoke on comittments one day and God asked me to give him our house, our home for Him to use for His glory. Scott and I talked a long time that day and we have total peace about it all. Since then one of our staff members talked with me about her homelife(abusive, fearful, etc) and I sensed God asking me to open our home to her for a while...so we are. She will be moving in at the beginning of March. God has been bringing more and more people into our life wanting mentoring, etc. It is sooooo fun! A part of me feels that our "ministry" in Brazil is merely beginning! It's a weird sensation. We are very happy to hear that Houses that Change the World is already in Portuguese...we'll start passing it around.

Anyway, we're on our last night of camp and we are all ready to move home and try to establish a little bit of routine before heading off for the beach. We hope you are all doing well.

Brenda, I need to call you about Muki's birthday presents that I'd like for you to send with Jack at the end of February. We'll call you in the next couple of days.

We are tired, but encouraged. We've seen some great things happen this summer and that is always so invigorating. I don't know if there is anything more thrilling than watching someone drink in God's love story for the first time!!!

Gotta run to the fireside,

Patsy
