May 24: Fine Arts Festival

We really enjoyed the high school fine arts festival on Saturday evening! The evening was full of interesting paintings, photographs, different works of art... plus wonderful singing by the chamber choir and the concert choir. My favorite though was the handbell choir... amazing music performed by a number of students with these bells. This clip is from the Pirates of the Caribbean theme song!

May11: N.H.S. Induction

We enjoyed being with Jacob at the ceremony as he was inducted into the National Honor Society!

Dear friends and family,

Thank you so much for your prayers for us! We are thankful for them, and we are excited to see what God is doing in our lives out here. The past month has been interesting and surprising for me.


Through talking to many missionaries here, in many different organizations, I have become aware of so many situations where a family needs some support and teaching, and would benefit from a professional counselor. In the States, it's easy to find a professional counselor when one is needed, but they are very difficult to access here.
