Hello, dear friends! November and December were very busy for our family. We hope that you had a blessed Christmas and are enjoying this New Year – 2017- that God has blessed us with! Below are some special pictures that we took in November and December. We hope you enjoy them. Thank you for loving and praying for our family and for our intense traveling schedule that we have. Soon, we head out to Florida for a SOLID 6 weeks worth of meetings down South. Stay posted for that itinerary – coming SOON! We send our love.
In Christian Love, The Rodrigues Family
We started out the beginning of November by going to Jinger (Duggar’s) wedding in Arkansas. It was a beautiful, special day!! This was our family standing in front of the gorgeous church building that they had the wedding in. 😉

I sure do love this lady! She is a gem and beautiful INSIDE and OUT!
Out of respect to the Duggar’s privacy, we waited awhile to post these pictures.
Such amazing, godly leaders in our country that have made SUCH a difference for the good!
It was a pleasure to park our RV at the Duggar’s house after the wedding and sing some songs at the “church service” they had at their house the next day. Jim Bob took these pictures for us. Duggar family, thank you for being a blessing to us.
After the church service at the Duggar home, we headed over to the Duggar’s church to sing there. It was SUCH a blessing getting to know the Pastor Paul Caldwell family. They are such humble, sweet people.

Next, we headed to a ministry in Missouri that ministers to the Portuguese speaking people – this is special to David because his descent is Portuguese.
This is their building. We hope to be able to help them with various projects in the future.
From there, we went on a couple days of “family time”. This was Laura Ingalls Wilder’s home in Missouri. It was SO interesting!! We had a lovely time as a family together.
We got lots of pics.
We couldn’t afford to pay for our entire family to have a tour. So, we enjoyed looking in the windows. 🙂
Laura and Almanzo built this farmhouse by hand.
This was the newly built museum by the house.
It was a lovely day!!
We stayed up really late in the RV to see the results of the election.
SUCH suspense!!
TRUMP WON??!!!
Sheer JOY!!!
There is a sliver of hope now for this good old – USA!!
We went to a pet store and had SO much fun looking and petting all the animals!
On our way back, we stopped at David’s sister(Jaynell)’s house in TN. She and her husband Josh just lost twins due to miscarriage. This was their second pregnancy and they lost their first baby girl- “Haven” at over 30 weeks along. Please pray for God to bring them comfort during this extremely hard season in their lives!!
Josh and Jaynell – parents to 3 precious babies – in the arms of Jesus.
I’m excited to be HOME for a couple of weeks!
My precious baby Sofia.
I love her so much! – Along with all her 11 siblings!!
My Plexus business continues to grow strong and lives are being changed health wise! I am SOOO grateful God brought me Plexus. Would you like to get more healthy and/ or earn money from home? Please e-mail or message me (Jill) to learn more.
Our children love being home at their home church. They enjoy the teen choir so much!
Our Thanksgiving was a JOYOUS day! The Foster family was still unable to come, but we are hoping maybe Amy will be well enough to make it next year!!
Olivia got saved on Mother’s Day of last year and then she got baptized this past November. She was so excited!
Dunk!
Yeah!
Mama is so happy that you have obeyed Jesus in believers baptism – to show others your profession of faith!
Back on the road again!

Pastor and his wife – Keri- are some of the kindest, nicest people you will ever meet!! They bless our hearts EVERY time we go to their church in PA!!
Kerri did SUCH a good job organizing and cooking all week long for us at their revival services!! Thank you for everything, Pastor and Mrs. Woods!! We love you DEARLY!!
Christmas time is here!
We actually had 3 MORE meetings in Kentucky that we forgot to get pictures from while there. We were glad when the INTENSE schedule and traveling came to and end – just in time for the Christmas holidays. We have enjoyed having about 7 weeks home to get caught up on MANY things – including LOTS of printing in the print shop. David is excited about how God continues to grow that (printing) aspect of our ministry!! Enjoy the few pics below of some of our time at home. We leave for Florida on January 26h , 2017 for some more vigorous traveling! Thank you again for your prayers for our family!!

My sweet parents – who are living in our RV when we are home and living in our home when we are traveling in our RV. They purchased a house 4 doors down from us and they are in the middle of getting it totally renovated and remodeled. They are making it fully handi-capped accessible for when my sister – Amy Foster (and her family) comes to visit. We have LOVED having my parents SO close! We are SO excited that God provided them the opportunity to purchase the house down the road from us! What a blessing so that I can take care of them when they grow older!! God is SO faithful!!
My Dad got silly!! LOL
He got my Mom laughing!!
I SURE do love them and am so thankful for them!
Received a Christmas package in the mail! FUN!!
Sisterly love.
Sofia slid right into this TALL box. So funny!!
Fell asleep right on the floor. We snapped this picture right before Daddy picked her up and put her to bed. SO adorable!!
Beautiful candlelight Christmas Eve Service at our church.
Listening to the Christmas story!

Well, that wraps up our pics for now. We hoped you enjoyed them. Please stay posted for more pictures and updates of our family in the future. God bless you all!
Merry (belated) Christmas, Happy New Year, and LOADS of Love,
