Imagine our delight to have finally “landed” after sleeping in 46 different beds since we left our beloved Brazil 6 months ago.

Burmese language classes are next on the list, even as Bruce dives in to doctoral research on “faith-based social entrepreneurship.”

We are also adjusting to “Kiwi culture & customs”. Here’s a few basic phrases in Kiwi English. See if you can interpret them - we’ll give you a translation in our next update.

Thank you for your prayers and your financial gifts - we are overwhelmed by your generosity and faithfulness.
