back again....

It has been a while since we have written anything here but thought we could update any who are interested in what we are up to.
At present we have Stan and Wilma Jenkins staying with us from Scotland so that brings back many memories of our trip to Scotland/Russia last year when we stayed with them just outside of Aberdeen. We are having a lovely visit but they leave to return to Scotland today.
We recently found out that we had some more Air Miles available and that they had to be used this year or we would lose them! So, praying about it we have decided to use them to take a trip back to Colombia over the Easter break. In Colombia Easter is a great time to have conferences and so Dick is going to be speaking between the two churches in Bucaramanga during that Easter week so we are looking forward to that and catching up with old friends. We lived in Bucaramanga for 10 years so have many memories as you can imagine.
After that we will go back to Bogota where we spent 3 1/2 years of our beginning years as missionaries and will be staying with Dick's first disciple who is now in his 40's and working full-time for the Lord as an elder in his assembly and the assembly where Bill and Angela work when in Colombia so that also will be exciting to be back with them. It is some 36 years now since we first went to Colombia so a visit always brings back many memories.

Our other news, for those who don't know, is that our daughter, Debbie, who is in Russia, is expecting another baby so that will make three! She and her family are planning a furlough later this year so we are looking forward to them coming home for a few months and also having the new baby born here!

So, in the next few weeks we will try and share some of our experiences on this blog for you to read.
We'll be in touch.
