Persistence in Prayer

We got an email this morning from future coworkers in Brazil who shared this little story with us:

"We were talking about people coming to Brazil recently and Silas said, “I don’t think Uncle Jon & Aunt Denielle are going to come because I keep praying and praying and they don’t come.” (Maybe that’s how you feel too. Don’t get discouraged!!) I tried to explain visas to him and that you would come when you got yours. He then said that your baby was going to be all grown up already so I asked him how old he thought she was. He replied, “4” Maybe he’s hoping for someone his age. That night he once again prayed for you so he’s learning about persistence in prayer."

We are learning the same lessons as Silas . . . though I don't think ElliAnna will be four yet.
