Moving Again?

Yes, moving again. Will it ever stop? Probably not soon as it’s an integral part of our chosen missionary ‘vocation’. This time from Texas to Brazil with a short visit in FL on the way for a partial family reunion with Ruthie, et. al. Is still dubious if all our stuff will fit into the suitcases but a week from now it will probably all be there when we unpack in our small house on a tropical island in northern Brazil. These nearly seven months in the land of our birth have been very refreshing with visits with friends, supportive churches and our loving, growing family. So, return here later for a progress report on our re-adaptation to wilder traffic patterns, year-round heat and humidity and speaking mostly Portuguese. Not to worry! Actually, we look forward again to preparing for the new school term and reconnecting with colleagues and students. God is so good!

Granddaughter Doing Fine!

June 5 is an important date for Vivian and me. It's our wedding anniversary! And this year it was even more significant since that's the actual day on which our first granddaughter, Ruth Emma, was born! What a joy to be present for the event here in Florida and to help around home as Marcy & Rich discover the joys and challenges that first time parenthood brings. One thing is certain, God is very good to us and we are grateful for all who prayed for the safe arrival of this bundle of pink joy! We'll include a photo to show you how precious little Ruthie is, as soon as we can figure out how to do it!
