Welcome to our blog...the place where we post updates on our life and ministry, along with various family photos along the way. We try to keep it current but sometimes our schedules don't allow us to update it as often as we'd like, so please check back often.
We were able to take a trip to Brasil in November. It was the first time we had returned since we left there in 2002. It was fantastic. Since Aurora had no memories of our life there everything was new to her. She loved the different foods, sights, culture, weather and meeting new people. She often tired of hearing portuguese but was a great sport about it. We had a great time with Dan's sister, Dawn, and her family. Dan spoke to various groups 11 times in the short time we were there. It was emotional being back in the church his parents had started, and having the opportunity to see their old cottage on the lake. It brought back alot of memories and made us miss them so much more. But we're thankful we had the privilege to share those places with Aurora. We're thankful for those who contributed to our trip and for the many blessings we received by going and ministering and reconnecting with old friends, and even making some new ones!
We happened on this huge sunflower farm - acres and acres of gorgeous yellow and orange flowers, some towering over us, some small that we could hold in our hands...yet ALL of them bringing a smile to our faces!
The coordinators of the MK childrens program at our annual ABWE Missionary Enrichment conference surprised all of the kids with a special limo ride to McDonalds, with special people inside the limo, and an ice cream treat awaiting them when they arrived. They rolled out the red carpet for the kids to enter the limo and made them feel extra special as they rode to McD's in style! Aurora loved it. It was the highlight of the week for our MK's! It was also a very poignant reminder of just how special they are (& all of us) to God - His special children that He has called to serve Him and to love Him...and to love OTHERS!
Made me think today just how special I am to the LORD! Thank you Jesus for making each of us (Dan, Aurora and I) a child of the KING!
