Some Pictures and More

Here are a couple of pictures of our grand-daughters, Ariadna and Andrea. They are with their parents, Daniel and Marcela, serving as Short Term Assistants (STA's) in Jerez, together with Ingrid, even while we are with my folks here in Phoenix. They are all living in our house. It's a big house, so they have plenty of room for two families, especially with us out of the way!

The work is going well there, with Ingrid continuing to translate Sunday School material and Daniel and Marcela handling the Youth Ministry. Todd and Barb Schierkolk are heading up the whole operation, Todd pastors the church, and they also have the Kid's Clubs outreach ministry. Barb's music is a powerful blessing at the heart of the work.

Dad home!

My Dad came home today!
He was able to come home a day sooner than our most sanguine hopes. This is good.
Please pray that he will get stronger every day and be able to get to the point where he can get up out of a chair unassisted. he has made so much progress in the past few weeks that we are very encouraged. The doctor said that there seems to be nothing wrong with him except the polio, which he has has all his life. This is just a new stage in the disease, and he will learn to work around it as he has done at every previous stage.
The good news is that at 90 years old, this is the only serious health problem!
