STANDING ON THE PROMISES Standing on the promises of Christ my King, Through eternal ages let His praises ring, Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing, Standing on the promises of God.

Standing, standing, Standing on the promises of God my Savior; Standing, standing, I’m standing on the promises of God. Standing on the promises I cannot fall, List’ning every moment to the Spirit’s call, Resting in my Savior as my all in all, Standing on the promises of God.

REDEEMED Redeemed, how I love to proclaim it! Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb; Redeemed through His infinite mercy, His child and forever I am. Redeemed, redeemed, Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb; Redeemed, redeemed, His child and forever I am. I think of my blessed Redeemer, I think of Him all the day long: I sing, for I cannot be silent; His love is the theme of my song.

This is Joaonita. She watches Asher while

Harvey and I study Portuguese (in our home).

We hope that as she plays and speaks with

him, he will pick up the language as well!

He’s already learned to say good morning,

thank you, and goodbye in Portuguese (we’re

working on “I want some water”). We’re sorry

we haven’t posted much lately; we have been waiting for two weeks for our

WiFi to be set up. Thanks for your patience, and please pray they would

come set it up soon so we can communicate more frequently!
