Maicon Emilio

Maicon is a new believer and has been a great blessing. He and Vladi are single men living with us and helping in many ways as they study the Word and work their jobs.

Preparations in Sonia's kitchen

Getting ready for the feast to come. Thank you ladies!

Feasting begins!

Yummmm! Turkey and all the other goodies...except cranberry sauce... :(

lining up for chow

"Her"

Our little dog has pups...again, and again. Richie named his dog "ela" (her in Port.) to go with "Cinder" our female German Shepard. Get it? Cinder...ela?

Closeups of "variety pack specials"

Anybody want a mutt? Oh sorry, Richie! "Mixed breed" is the PC term...

"After"

See what a little cement, brick and flowers can do! Thank you Maicon (he did a lot of the work)!

"Before"

Actually this is "during". Please note asphalt on road in the front. That is a very great blessing compared to the mud we had before.

Steve speaking

Giving a study to some couples in a local church on "Eagle Parenting" (from Dick Woodward's great booklet "As Eagles")

Couples at meeting

It was storming quite badly out, so few actually showed. We had water running in the cracks everywhere and even dripping on us!
