Missionary To Brazil
Sends Greetings
(Ed. Note: The following letter,
addressed “Dear Friends”, was
written by Miss Vivian Hodges,
who had been Bible teacher in
Black Mountain school up to the
time she accepted the call in 1951
to go to Brazil. Her address is
Caixa 12, Patrocinio, Oeste de
Minas, Brazil, S. A.)
It really hasn’t been very long
since I wrote you about my arrival
in Brazil, yet at times it seems
that I have been here for years
instead of just months. The new
ness is beginning to wear off
now, and many of the strange
things I saw and heard no longer
look or sound strange.
As you know, this first year
on the field is spent primarily
studying a new language, which,
in my case, is Portuguese, the na
tional language of Brazil. Since
a missionary’s entire career hinges
on his grasp of the language, I
am thankful indeed for the expert
guidance of our language school
under the direction of Miss Fran
ces Hesser, and for the Cummings
Method and the excellent teachers
we have trained in this method.
The school year has just begun
in Brazil, and the air is filled
with the back-to-school hustle and
bustle. Here at the Instituto
Biblico nearly all of the students
have arrived, and it is (rood to
see the old students returning and
to wonder at the potentialities of
the new ones. Last night after our
usual informal Sunday evening
supper, as we were sitting around
the dining room singing hymns,
one of the students, an Indian
from the state of Mato Grosso,
sang for us, in his own language,
“Jesus Loves Me.” Then he sang
it in the language of another
tribe, and told us. that this was
the first song the missionaries
taught the Indians, and that he
himself had translated it into the
language of his people. He joined
us in singing the English words,
and then all the students and
teachers sang the Portuguese. It
was a moving experience for me
as I felt both a touch of home
sickness and a new wonder of
Jesus’ love for all of us, whatever
race.
My most recent adventure here
was a trip with Sandy (Mrs. E.
H.) Gartrell to Sao Paulo and
Campinas, the latter being the
location of our larger language
school. We were royally enter
tained by members of our East
and North Brazil Missions, (we
being the Westerners), and I
couldn’t begin to tell you of the
hundred and one things we
crowded into one week.
Many Brazilians today are
hungering for a new way of life.
They need the living Word of
God that has been denied them
all these years. You can have a
part in filling their hungry souls
—you can pray for them and for
your missionaries. Please pray
especially for those, who, like my
teacher, see the error but have not
accepted the Abundant Life that
only Christ Jesus can give.
Thank you all for your many
remembrances. May the Lord
bless you and keep you all.
Yours in His sendee,
Vivian Hodges.
