News-trip to Brazil and family happenings

Hello again from Argentina! We're enjoying a beautiful sunny fall day. It's nice to be able to rest some and get back into life here after our time in Brazil last week. On June 3 Dick and I traveled to Fortaleza for a field leaders' retreat. We had a great time connecting with colleagues from Latin America in a beautiful beachside setting. :-) See picture above. Barb Bentley stayed with Andrea until we returned home this past Sunday. Thanks Barb! During the week we participated in discussions and workshops about leadership. I led a workshop about listening and helping others solve problems. Before we returned to Tucuman we visited friends in Sao Paulo at the Antioch Mission. See picture above. :-) Marcia works in member care and training for the Brazilian mission agency. Her husband Silas is the director of the mission that Marcia's father started. They have two sons, Lucas and Andre (in the picture).

Andrea had a good time with Barb while we were gone. Ben had his first week with missionary kids last week at WorldVenture headquarters in Littleton, Colorado and says it went well. Yesterday Beth started her job as a Spanish translator for a clinic in Michigan. It's so good that Beth and Ben are enjoying their jobs. :-)

I'll sign off for now and include a couple of pictures. Thank you for praying!
