So as foretold, here is my very first post about what is currently taking place in David's life...
Teaching is the time-consuming giant. I know God wants me to be at the International School now and so I'm cool with it. But it's still hard sometimes. When you know the Lord is calling you to something else....waiting can be painful. But it's not all sadness. When you least expect it, Brazil still has its moments of brilliance. Especially when a friend from the desert comes your way! I'm talking about Mayara. Together with Jeff and Lindsay Turner, she's been my backbone.
I still have my usual American faraway friends, but they are, by definition, far away. And my friendship with Matthew has morphed into something else....better? I don't know. I think time will tell. But now there's also Seth. A lot older than me, but an amazing friend I did not ever expect. I think God let him come into my life for these harder times. Can't wait to see him this July!
But anyway, apart from teaching and the relationship realm, there is a youth group to attend to. Two of my unsaved students, Paulo and Priscila, came to church last Sunday! They said they liked it a lot and it was great :-) Please pray for them as I am dying to see them in Heaven.
On America, I'm heading to my old school tomorrow in a desperate attempt to retrieve my transcripts. Crossroads will only send me the I-20 form (needed for student visas) after they receive a few pending documents.
I realize most of this is rambling instead of some sort of witty writing, but I think that is what happens when I'm talking about myself...Until further developments surface,
Dave.

Rambling is ok. Everyone needs to do it once in a while. :)
