Happy 2010! plus November and December news

Happy New Year! We enjoyed being in Michigan with family for New Year's and with family in Kentucky for Christmas. :-)

We have begun visiting churches that partner with us in our ministry. The first week of October we visited a supporting church in Michigan. It was great to be with part of a conference there and blessed by the members of the church and the other missionaries that participated. At the end of October and beginning of November Dick visited a few friends who are ministry partners and churches in Massechusettes, New York and Pensylvania. He was encouraged by the expressions of love and care.

In November Dick,Andrea and Luca traveled to North Africa to visit Beth. They had LOTS of fun spending two weeks together, visiting different cities and friends that are part of Beth's life.

Lori enjoyed attending Mental Health and Missions Conference in Indiana and spent Thanksgiving in Michigan with Ben, Dick's parents and friends while the rest of our family was in Africa.

We so appreciate your interest in us and what is happening in our lives. Thank you for praying for us and keeping in touch when you can! I hope to post a few pictures soon!
