April is here!

Time for another update! April is here and we are counting down for Easter, which is fast approaching!

Louissa's First IGCSE
On Thursday (3rd) Louissa took her first IGCSE in São Paulo - Portuguese Oral. She had no problems with the exam itself, and we were able to get used to the route and work out the quickest way to arrive. The exam was in a private international school called St. Francis College, where all the lessons are conducted in English. It was strange to hear lessons going on in English as we were walking down the corridors. So one exam paper done, and six to go! Next one is 2nd May.

Prayer Day
Also on Thursday we had a prayer day at OM. This involved both the staff and the students, and we prayed for many countries of the world, for OM internationally and particularly for OM Brazil. 

Visitor from the UK
This week, we have received a visitor from the UK at OM Brazil: Graham, who leads up OM's international 'Sportslink' ministry is here to talk about the World Cup in Brazil, but also to give us some help as we grow our Sportslink ministry here in Brazil. It's not just about the World Cup and the Olympics, but about reaching people through sport on a continuous basis. Later in the year, we will have a new person joining us to lead the Sportslink ministry in Brazil. Graham will be travelling to Argentina for a couple of days before heading back to the UK.


Rain
Answer to prayer - it's been raining! April showers are maybe more common in England than in Brazil, but we are very happy to be having some imported weather.
