From November to February - Family Update

Proud Abuelos (Grandparents)

Aaron, Kristin, Rachel

Since our last update a lot of interesting and exciting events have happened in our lives. At Thanksgiving our son Kasey was able to come and visit with us till New Years. We had a great time and it was good to see how God has been working in his life. Christmas was celebrated Uruguayan style with fireworks and roast beef over the parrilla. December was spent preparing for teams and preparing for training Paul would at two seminars in Chile and Paraguay.

January was basically a month of meetings and training. We spent a week in Paraguay, close to a week in Chile, and Paul spent six days in Atlanta for International World Changers Training. We also hosted a World Changers vision team in preparation for our World Changers project scheduled for June.

In February Kristin, Aaron, and Rachel came for a visit as well. It was wonderful to see them and we all enjoyed seeing how strong and healthy Rachel is. Aaron had to return to Southwestern Seminary for work, but Kristin and Rachel were able to stay for an extra ten days. Kristin was also able to participate with our first GAP team of the year.
