Mishaela is 20 now and enjoyed a year in Europe as she attended the Word of Life Bible Institute in Hungary. They teach in English and it was a great opportunity. (If anyone is interested, just let us know.) She loved seeing Europe on her breaks and now that she's back, she has a great world perspective. The past year has been spent at The Master's College in Santa Clarita, CA. She enjoys writing and has tossed around majoring in writing or teaching. She is editing the school magazine, writing some articles and learning a lot.

Joshua is 18. He enjoys building, mechanics and computers. He loves to work on and drive his go-cart, and work with his school praise band. He enjoys guitar and loved being able to build a base guitar during his woods class in the U.S. this past year. He will be a Senior this year at Amazon Valley Academy; we can't believe this is it! He plans to attend a Bible College and then move into Vocational Arts.

Mackenzie is 15 now and enjoys music, graphic arts and getting "together" with friends on facebook. Its a great way to stay connected with friends scattered around Brasil and the United States. She'll be a sophomore this year and she's anxious to get back to her school in Brasil after this year in the USA.

Thank You! for taking time out of your busy schedule to read about what God is doing in our lives and for taking time to lift us up in prayer.
