Life keeps going....

[Firstly, a thanks & shout-out to those whose donations have supported me in this time -- Nancy Smith, Wayne Lennon, Buck Ward, Lisa Mason, the Maksirisombat family, Vern & Marcia Holmes, and Eldon & Marcia Olson!]

I was waiting to write another post until I actually had something of more substance about which to update. Then I realized it's been a while since I updated!

 Work has been work -- not too much to say here. Lately I have been working on various projects -- some graphic design, some website design, some ongoing photo & video projects. This last weekend I had the pleasure to finally meet the Primate of the Episcopal Anglican Church in Brasil, Mauricio Andrade, as well as Bishop Francisco Silva from the Diocese of Sul Ocidental in Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul. They were in Sao Paulo for the weekend for a meeting of the National Council of Christian Churches (CONIC) in Brazil. I had a lovely time talking with the both of them, and look forward to seeing them more.

Church of the Holy Trinity also hosts an office for KOINONIA - Brasil (Ecumenical Presence in Service), and I joined some of their staff last week to show church support at a demonstration for International Women's Day. I was later interviewed to get my thoughts on things -- see below the image to get the link for the translation! (We are currently working on some website issues with the parish site, to ensure that the page is indeed accessible outside of the country, so here's a screenshot of the Portuguese version!) Portuguese version available in Brazil here -

That's it for this update! Hope this message finds you well, and take care and all the best! Greetings from sunny Sao Paulo!
