Hi! My name is Josh. I was 10 years old on January 9th, 2011. I went to Brazil when I was only 6 months old. I lived in the city of Curitiba. My church was Igreja Batista Emanuel. I had many friends in the church and in our neighborhood. I miss my dog, Lilah. I accepted Jesus as my Savior a few years ago. My parents and grandparents always taught me about God. One night, I asked my Dad to explain how I could be sure I was saved. That night in Brazil, I prayed and accepted Jesus as Savior. I was baptized in our church in Brazil. My Grandpa George and Grandma Maxine were missionaries in Curitiba, Brazil, too. I liked to visit them a lot. We worked in the garden and in the shop a lot. We like to build things. They are home on an extended medical furlough now (whatever that means), but I’m glad I get to see them often. We are living with Grandma Carol right now. (I keep her busy). I study at home. Mom is my teacher (I keep her busy, too!). I play soccer in a soccer league for boys my age. I also like being involved in the church where Dad is helping as Missionary Pastor, Bible Baptist Church. Mr. Sammy (my Sunday School Teacher) and I are responsible to produce and copy the CD’s of services for those who can’t come to church. That's all for now. Bye.
