We got our container!!

We FINALLY got our container out of customs on Thursday!  Bob fired the custom agent who was “working for us”.  Come to find out he has been lying to us for a long time and we could have had our container a month ago.  We were disappointed to open up our container and find it ransacked and some of our things stolen.  Samuel is still upset that his bike is gone.  Bikes here are very expensive which is why were told to bring our own.  I didn’t even get to ride my nice sports bike that Bob had bought for me the day before we packed the container in the States.  Other things were taken as well, but as we keep telling Samuel, God knows all about it and He will take care of us.  He always does!!  What an honor to serve the living God; to serve a Heavenly Father that takes care of His children.  God is just so good to us and we don’t deserve a blessed thing!!      I will admit that we have been having our ups and downs.  Living in Brazil and experiencing first hand Satanic oppression has opened our eyes to the reality of spiritual darkness.  We realize that Satan’s army is attacking us because Bob and Andrew are working at reaching the Muslim world.  I just ask that our family and friends keep us lifted up in prayer.     On a happier note, our house is looking so nice; the kids have their familiar toys and stuffed animals; we have a real Christmas tree and the stockings are hung; we have comfy couches and I have my kitchen set up; and we got fresh snow throughout last night!!  OH – and our TV and DVD player were not stolen so my angel-girl has been watching her favorite movie: Milo and Otis.   Thank you, Jesus!
