A New Stage of Life!

We have entered a new and interesting stage of life - our eldest daughter announced her engagement last weekend. We are grateful for a little opportunity to get to know Ralph, when he made the great effort to visit us in Brazil in May 2008.
Now ... So many things to think about and plan for in the coming months!
The happy couple lives in Northern Alberta - a long way from either of our living parents, her grandparents. There will be a lot of traveling needed during our next home ministry - 2009.

It rained!

Yesterday it rained in Barra!
Robert had gotten home in time for a late lunch - from his trip back to Belem to renew his driver's license. He was here to be able to see that the trench that he has dug (hoping to guide water from the low-level back yard out to the front where there is drainage to the street) REALLY WORKED!
