It looks like I’m going to be doing a LOT of live interpreting!     The interpreting for the virtual Regional Missionary Training Forum in July (mentioned in our last update) went really well! There were over 50 participants logged in, with presenters from as far away as the Asia Pacific region on the other side […]

Pretty much everyone in the world has something in common now. Nearly all our plans for the year have been blown out of the water!  In our last letter, I mentioned my expectation of participating in the fall missions conference being hosted by Church on the Hill in San Jose. I’m afraid that’s not going to happen […]

Good news! We got a very favorable appraisal despite the uncertainty of these COVID-19 times! As a result, the closing is set for Friday, April 3rd, a week from today. We plan to begin driving to Florida that same day. Our stuff is supposed to get there on Monday, April 6th, God willing. Life has […]

“Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there…”— yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord […]

     Can you believe we have reached 2020? When I think of the 20’s, my mind goes to the The Roaring 20’s of the last century, the “flappers” and the Great Crash of ’29. Let’s hope we don’t repeat that!      Only God knows what this new decade holds for us — but […]

“For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city that is to come. Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name.” (Hebrews 13:14,15) As we hear news of civil unrest in several Latin American countries and moral decline in our […]

I guess summer isn’t officially over yet, but school has already started here in central Texas and everyone is looking forward to those cooler fall temperatures — like below 100! These photos are souvenirs from our annual visit with Esther and Curtis and our grandkids in Nova Scotia. We enjoyed celebrating Steve’s and Esther’s birthdays […]

Mother’s Day started early for us with a visit from our little Kaylene yesterday morning. Art took plenty of pictures, and we picked out this one to share with you. Hope your Mother’s Day is special, too. It’s great to be back in our house! There’s a literacy seminar coming up in early June which […]

You’ll really enjoy this brief telling of the story of Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection by a tribal brother. (Click on the picture to see it.) He tells it with such joy and understanding!  Just want to let you know that Steve returned on Monday from San Jose. His dad feels like he can go […]

First of all, we want to thank you, not only for praying but for letting us know that you were interceding. It has really warmed our hearts. Just wanted to let you know that Dad’s triple bypass surgery went well. His heart started working much better right away, and his kidneys came out of the […]
