A good friend and brother

My brother Rob,

Thank you very much for that. I appreciate...

It is my pleasure to be your friend as well. God knows...

Actually, I need prayers and a break.

We just moved to a new flat and so we have to do a lot of stuff..

On the other hand, I thank God because this coming week my Masters is going to be over...

I confess that it has not been easy but i know one day i will look back at all and will understand many things that I do not understand today..

Say hello to Nancy and the kids...

We have been praying for you as well.

Bless you!
Un abrazo,

Hi Johnna,

Thank YOU for being a friend to me as well. I appreciate that!

Actually, I came to London from Paris but now I am in Bristol visiting Sara who came to our meeting in Barcelona.

I am staying with her family and tomorrow she wants to present me to her friend who have been in Brazil for a mission trip. That i why tomorrow we are going to Bath.

I want to go to Oxford to visit some places related to C S Lewis like his home, grave, church, etc. before going to London again and flying back to Barcelona on Jan 6th.

Take care and may God bless and guide you in 2009!!

Hi Fabio! HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I'm pretty sure I owe you another email, but I am going through old ones and thought I'd write you back... never know when I'll get to the newer ones! :) Passys just called and invited me over to eat... so I'm heading over there...

But then writing a sermon on Hosea and doing LOTS of emails. (I am way behind. :) )

Hope your new year's celebration was a great time. Where were you?

Blessings to you in 2009. Thanks for being a friend to me!

Johnna

Hi Fabio! Wow - it has been a long time. Thank you for writing. How was your trip? I'm doing well. I moved in with Tess and we are still trying to get our internet to work correctly... so that's why I haven't been on much.

So, what are some highlights from your time in Portugal and La Coruna? Nate told me you have narrowed things and stopped the church plant and that things are going well.

Are you happy with the changes?

I have been busy moving and having visitors. This weekend I preach, so I should get back to my studying!

Hola Fabio,

Que tal todo? Qué no sé nada de tí...

Ahora estoy haciendo una formación de asistente comercial. Son 5 meses+prácticas. De momento, bastante bien, la verdad, aunque no tenga el rítmo. Casi un año levantándome a la hora que quiero y ahora, plaf, a las 7.30 todas las mañanas tengo que despertarme...Bueno, pero ya me acostumbraré.

La última vez que escribí a Nate le pedi fechas para poder ir a Barcelona pero no me contestó todavía. Sabes, para que estéis todos ahí...No vaya a ser que llegué y que no me encuentré a nadie. Tengo vacaciones en Navidad, asi que podría ir a primeros de enero. No sé, lo que vosotros digais...

Por cierto, has empezado las clases de francés? Que tal?

Un abrazo,
Elisa

Hola Fabio,

Un mes ya ha pasado desde que viniste. Que tal? Has empezado ya con el francés? Y que haces ahora que no tienes el master, después del trabajo? Está todo bien por ahí?

Ahora estoy en plena selección para una formación de empleada comercial. Dura seis meses, prácticas incluidas. Lo que me encantaría sería trabajar en una editorial, sabes, estar en contacto continuo con los autores, proveedores, leer manuscritos. Wow es mi gran sueño pero primero tengo entrar en ese mundillo y por eso es que quiero hacer ese módulo. ..También me dijeron que voy a tener que cambiar de país porque aquí editoriales hay muy pocas...Entonces, la formación será como una especie de transición hasta que me sienta lo suficientemente segura para volver a marchar. Que guay, por fin sé lo que quiero hacer profesionalmente. Estoy muy ilusionada.

El fin de semana que viene me voy para Berlin. Tengo muchas ganas y si me va bien, más adelante iré a Barcelona a visitaros -)))

Sabes que le estoy dando clases de español a un islandés? Es muy divertido y además puedo practicar.

Un abrazo,
cuídate,
Elisa

Queida amiga Elisa,

Ha sido una alegría tambien..
Si quieres leer la biblia, vete a los Salmos y Prov´rrbios y los 4 primeros libros del Nuevo Testamento: Mateo, Marco, Luca y Juan y tu sabrás como Jesus era y como él ha vivido la vida..

Salmos y Provérbios harán bien para tu alma...believe me!
Dios nos es complicado pero nosotros complicamos mucho...

Luego, me comentarás algo..

Te esperamos y te queremos mucho también!!

Hi Fabio,

Just wanted to say hello.

How are you? How was your New Year and what did you do? We had a nice holiday, we went to Japan and South of Korea. I am still in South Korea right now.

The end of the week I will be coming home. Please tell all my friends in Barcelona that I wish them the same.

Hugs,
Ilyssa

Gracias Birte!

La navidad estaré aquí porque recibo algunos amigos de Holanda, la chica que conocí en la playa hace dos años vendrá a Barcelona con su hermano y sus amigos..

Y pasaremos todos juntos: Edgar, Nara, Giuseppe, Edson y ellos - somos unos 15 en total. Nate está en Chicago

El 26 vuelo a Paris y el 29 llego en Londres, luego me voy a Bristol el 31 y me quedo ahí hasta el 3. Regreso a Londres y me quedo hasta el 6 en Inglaterra y después volveré a Barcelona.

Me alegro de saber que has disfrutado del tiempo que estuvistes con nosotros en Barcelona!!

Feliz Navidad otra vez y que Dios te bendiga ricamente!

My friend and brother Thomaz,

Yeah, I would say the same...
I can't believe it has been this long...

Well, if you must look for a full time job I am sure it will be for a season until you pay your taxes...

Nate is an American missionary, 24 years old and came from Texas to La Coruña to study Spanish and work for a certain church in Galicia.

Actually, he lives in Barcelona and helps me with those activities that you have seen by the links. However, he will go back to Chicago in July. He is a great guy!

It is good to see and realize what and how God has been working at your life...
I am sure He will do and finish His work...

Say hello to everybody, remember me in your prayers as well...

We keep in touch bro!
Have a good weekend and my God bless you

Thanks brother, for the reply!

I checked out the two links that you sent me and you seem quite busy there and really happy. By the way, who is Nate?

Anyways, thanks for the prayer, I'm in a really tight situation in life. I got in some problems with my taxes from last year and I'm not sure what will happen with that. Since my financial situation is really bad, I won't be able to continue school so I'll be looking for a full time job.

Thanks again for the prayer and God bless you bro. Thank you for everything and for all your support and prayers in the past 2 years or so. Wow, I can't believe it has been this long.

Hey, good to read your email!!
I am fine, thanks.

I just finished my Masters in marketing and came back from Portugal (vacation).
I have been working a lot and studying French once a week.

We have our meetings once a week as well but I do not know what is going to happen when Nate leaves Barcelona.

It is great to know what has happened with you. I know it is a new season for you because you are supposed to make some decisions...

Actually, life is choice and we are making decisions and choosing things every single day!

Brother, I am sure God will show a way to you even though it seems to us (sometimes) there is not any way...

I am sure God will finish His work at Kristina's life.
I am sure God has used you to bless her.

I am sure you will write something to me regarding these issues soon.
Just live one day at a time and be sensite to listen to your heart and understand the will of God for you.

As we know everything has a purpose in life!

Thank you for your words and encouragement!
Take care and have a great week!

Father, thank you for Thomaz and his testimony. Thank you because you are faithful and you have a perfect plan for us
Please, guide Thomaz and bless his brothers and parents.
Please, be with him and make him stronger.
Please, show your will to him and your purpose regarding Kristina.
I know you have started this work and I am sure you will finish it.
In you name dear Jesus I pray. Amen, Amen and Amen.

Hey Fabio....

How are you brother? Still in Spain? Send some updates.

Everything is great here. I am getting involved in a church and it seems as if I am beginning to experience to pleasures and displeasures of being in ministry. I started a bible study on the parables of Christ last week and it went very well.

I am also quite involved in the young adults ministry at the church and I am doing one-on-one discipling with a couple of people. It's great because I am not working nor in school so I get to stay at home the whole day and study the Word (well, I try to). I'll be going to back to school in January and hopefully finish my Degree in Philosophy. I plan on doing my Master's Degree in New Testament Studies but I'm not too sure yet, it is a ways ahead of me.

Kristina and I have been broken up for a while now and I haven't really talked to her for some months. Since you have been, through prayer and council, involved in my and her life and would like you to pray for her situation and for peace in my life.

You are one of very few people who really know what I have been through in regards to this situation, so I do covet your prayers in this matter.

It is a blessing having you as a brother, only the Lord knows how much you have helped me in the past!

God bless you always brother

Thomaz

Querida pequena, mas preciosa Monte Mor...

Grande Olver!

Eu estou bem my brother! Sumido??
Sempre estou on-line o fato é que..

1. você mesmo me disse que não anda muito online.
2. os fusos horários fazem com que a gente não se encontre.
3. a opcão de vida que fiz faz com que eu entenda muito bem o que meu amigo Gustavo me disse há dois anos atrás em Londres, em frente do Meridiano de Greenwich tomando um café.

- Fábio, há dois tipos de amigos: Os cometas e os estrelas. Os comentas passam por nossas vidas e vão embora e são como um flash. Aliás, ainda que possamos ter alguma lembrança deles e de algo que aconteceu entre nós, nunca terão profundidade. Os estrelas ainda que possamos estar longe, distantes e sem contato quando necessitamos de algo, eles estarão ali, como estrelas, paradas e prontas para brilhar. - concluiu o seu pensamento olhando pra nós e dizendo que eu era um amigo estrela para ele.

Estou de acordo com ele, pois todos nós em grau maior ou menor temos amigos cometas e muitos outros estrelas, e quando nos vemos, escrevemos e falamos como se o tempo corrido não houvesse corrido porque sempre estamos presentes um na vida do outro.

Quanto ao Brasil: Não pude viajar pois tinha somente 10 dias de férias e acabei viajando a França e Inglaterra, visitando alguns "cometas", mas sobre tudo os "estrelas". No entanto, creio que no fim deste ano passarei pelo Brasil, se Deus permitir.

Espero que tudo esteja bem por aí.
Um beijo grande a todos em casa!

Fiquem na paz!
