Subject: Rolling

Fellow laborers,
	Things are really starting to roll here in Sao Paulo.  We now have
a Bible study on campus (either at the main USP campus or at the law
school) every day except for Fridays.  This means lots of travel which
means lots of time sitting on trains, busses, and subways along with lots
of walking.  It takes about an hour to get to the main USP campus and an
hour and a half to get to the law school.  Why is it so slow?  The answer
is simple - traffic.  With 24 million people packed into the greater Sao
Paulo area and the poor transportation engineering traffic problems are an
inevitability.  I was told that the average speed of a car or bus here is
30 kilometers per hour.  Thats 20 miles per hour!
	Beginning tomorrow I will be doing a Bible study in English at the
law school.  This was really the students idea and they seemed very
excited about it.  All of them speak English fluently.  This law school is
the premier law school in the nation.  The study will be held in between
classes which means I only have 15 minutes to work with.  Even so, I think
it is an amazing opportunity and I don't take it lightly.

	Please pray for:
		Transportation headaches
		Using my 15 minutes effectively
		All the students we have in our studies

	This was a short update, I know, but I just wanted to give you
guys a quick picture of whats currently happening.  I hope you are all
recognizing the blessings of God in your lives.  Thanks for the prayers.
