The children are doing well. Richard (15) is in 9th grade and enjoys running and playing basketball after school. He also takes guitar lessons. Melanie (14) is in 8th grade, she prefers reading and writing stories and is involving with Yearbook committee at school this year. Ryan (11) loves being in 3rd grade. During academic periods for his classmates, he studies with his "special teacher". Robert (8) is in 2nd grade. His favorite sport is soccer. Richard has just received his First Class badge in Boy Scouts. Ryan and Robert are Bears in Cub Scouts this year.

Becky keeps busy maintaining the "order" in the house, and all the driving to and from school. It is quite a job trying to remember all the after school activities that each of our four children have to be at certain time. Praise the Lord; so far Becky has managed to take the right children to the right activities, never mind a little bit late now and then.

We are thankful for being healthy and for Mike's safety when he travels to different villages, especially during rainy season. We are grateful for all your prayers and financial support for us as we continue our ministry in Thailand. We praise God for giving us the opportunity to share His grace with many tribal groups throughout northern Thailand.

May God richly bless you.

Mike, Becky, Richard, Melanie, Ryan, and Robert
