March 2017
I want to thank each and everyone that helped our sabbatical time possible. We had almost three months with my family in Manitoba and then at the end of December we headed for California and were so blessed to see our family and friends there. Truly blessed to attend the Calvary Chapel Missions Conference where we were spiritually fed and encouraged and also met many new friends.

End of January we were back in Belize and what a joy to be back with our Belize family and friends. Tino our foster boy had improved so much during the time we were gone. He has been getting physical therapy every week and what a difference that has made for him.  Now he can sit on his own and his balance has improved so much as well has his eye hand coordination. He still has a ways to go before he will be able to walk but it is looking hopeful. 
Cory is working on his senior year with Calvary Chapel on line. He continues to play soccer whenever he gets a chance and is enjoying youth group. 

Our ladies study Believing God by Beth Moore is still going on and the ladies feel they are gaining so much through this study. We are back in the swing of planning our 11th annual ladies retreat for the end of May. We are so excited that Gail Arterburn from Graeagle, California is coming out to be our guest speaker this year. Please pray for God’s guidance in all the details. 

I have shared with many of you my desire to see a children’s home started here in our town for children with special needs. Right now we are looking for property that is affordable but also easy access. From me taking Tino to get physical therapy gave the therapist a vision to start a campaign and help other children. Right now there are 12 children receiving therapy because someone has sponsored them. 
Thank you so much for your love, prayer and financial support.
