Another Newsletter is born. I know that many of you put out newsletters or bulletins yourself or your journal or blog and you know what a personal journey it is to share your life regularly with your nebulous friends and Christian brothers and sisters. I try to pray regularly through our mailing list so that you all remain fresh in my mind and don't become just names on a list for me. I pray that God encourages you in some way to get back up or just to keep moving in your own mission where God has placed you to serve Him. I truly love you and you remain in my prayers. Marie
P.S. A special thank-you to all of you at Southgate who print and mail this newsletter for us. I appreciate all that you do!! God Bless you!!

Dearest friends and family,
Another newsletter in the chute. I think I've been running like crazy for the past few weeks and I'm ready to take a few things off my plate. Hahaha Some of the projects that I'm involved in are short-term so I do see the light at the end of the tunnel.
I love you all and I thank you for taking the time to read our newsletter and pray for us. Thank-you also for your encouragement through e-mail. God Bless you as you seek to serve Him!! Love and Prayers, Marie Ledbetter

It’s “winter” here again and the winds and the rains have picked up. Some evenings the wind is blowing so hard that the rain just comes in horizontally. (It’s a lot like spring in Lubbock – except it’s a blinding rain and not red New Mexico sand. I always get a kick out of seeing the Brazilians huddled together for warmth at the bus stops with their down jackets and umbrellas. It gives me some secret pleasure to be able to wear shorts and a t-shirt. I mean come on, its 72 degrees!

Open House...
Funny how things don’t always turn out the way that you imagined. In our January letter to you I shared about the group of people that met in Dona Nilza’s house. So full of hope and so full of people.
Well, in February they have this little holiday here called Carnival… you may have heard of it. Anyway I think it’s actually the biggest celebration that happens in the whole world. It’s a nationwide party that starts on a Friday afternoon and ends the following Wednesday at 6 in the morning. Ash Wednesday in fact, but that’s another story. Lots of drinking and dancing, street parties, loud music and of course as the name implies, it’s a party of the “freeing of the flesh”. Not that I’m judging them. But I do grieve. Sinners sin… it’s their job description.
