As we had conveyed in our latest reports, we have finalized the commitments agreed upon with the Northeast region of Brazil and, as planned, at the end of January this year, we moved to the triple-border region between Paraguay, Brazil, and Argentina.
From the outset, we want to thank you for all the support and prayers we have received throughout this process.
We are already adapting to our new home, city, and activities. In this regard, we are grateful that our Emily is adjusting very quickly to her new school and, thanks to God, she is doing very well. We ask for prayers so that the process continues favorably. It is worth mentioning that Emily loves studying. :)

On the other hand, we summarize our activities from the past few months in four sections:

Church of God in Santa Terezinha de Itaipu
As we had agreed, the Church of God in Santa Terezinha de Itaipu is the church that welcomed us, and they did so with great warmth and care. We are very grateful for this and for all the brothers and sisters in this place!
This is the place where we will be providing more intensive support with our mission during this time.
The church also made available a part of the temple, which is under construction, as a studio for our missionary art projects.
Over the past two and a half months, we have already had blessed times of worship and fellowship with the brothers and sisters here, assisting with organization, visits, sermons, teaching, leadership, and music with various groups in the church.

Church of God in Marechal Cândido Rondon
During this time, we also participated in some summer gatherings at the Church of God in Rondon, the mother church of the one in Santa Terezinha. It is also one of the largest Churches of God in Brazil and the most influential internationally.
Currently, this church is led by Pastors Isai Hort, along with Pastors Lucas and Mônica Arnt. Our brothers and sisters from the Churches of God in Germany may remember them, as they spent several years studying and ministering there.

CIID Missions Department
We continue working with the Missions Department team of the Church of God at the South American level, supporting some missionary efforts in the region and structuring the department's guidelines and regulations currently under development.

Argentina
We were also able to take a short trip to our home country, Argentina, where Melodie could celebrate her birthday with family and where we were able to meet and talk with brothers and sisters from the cities of Dos de Mayo, San Vicente, Jardín América, and Puerto Iguazú.

The president of the Church of God in Argentina, Yoni Taron, from Jardín América, specifically requested prayers for the reform of statutes and regulations at the national level, which the church is currently undergoing.

Without further ado, as always, we sincerely thank you for your prayers and support for our mission.

With affection, united in Christ Jesus, The Patzer Family!
