Nations

Sara sporting her two countries at
the MTC 25th Anniversary Celebration. They had flags representing all the countries that had ever been staff or students at the seminary.

Being an ex-pat is such an unusual thing, you are never sure which culture to be loyal to and in the end, are not truly comfortable in either. However, I wouldn't change my life for anything ... I love being a chameleon.

Missions Fair

Our church in Montes Claros had their annual festival for missions last week and our friends from Guinee Bissau were the focus thus year. This is Julio (guitar), Mali , and I'tchambu ( Lucas calls him Boo)singing a gorgeous song about the Trinity in Creole ( common language spoken, though the official language is portugese)
Mail is training to be a nurse and the guys are at the same seminary as us, they will return to Guinee to be teachers at the seminary there. We are so blessed to know these three and are so thankful for all who supportted and participated at the fair!

brothers

Max and Lucas never stop amazing us. They are growing so fast and becoming smarter each new day that I am haing a hard time keeping up. Max is reading and wiriting now!! the pride of his classroom.... and will be representing the interschool olympic games on the bowling team and as the fastest runner for his class! Lucas is strong willed and very creative ( hmmm...who does that sound like?) he makes up words and new games and then gets frustrated easily when no one else knows how to play his way. They both still get way to much attention here and so are afraid of strangers, but we Thank God daily for their brotherly love and protection for one another.
