Donna:

This month was marked by the journey of Jorge and Jason to Portugal.  They left with a mission, besides personal and family affairs,  to establish a Wordproject base and deliver many of the newly produced  audio Bibles to various sources. It has been a remarkable time for them, the weather has been congenial and Jorge and Jason have had great teamwork together. They have accomplished their mission of setting up a small office, and are already on the distribution path.

Ben and Gloria have finished their 3rd and 1st years at Uni respectively.  Thank you for your prayers regarding Ben’s internship. He will be starting his summer program with a local media company in a few weeks.  Gloria has joined the team in Portugal before she begins some research projects in the university lab during her summer break.

Donna and Jorge are celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary! It has been an awesome journey, which we hope will continue a while longer!  They were married in Portugal, so it is a very special time for them to be back together there after many years.

Sweet baby Aurora is growing by leaps and bounds! She is a very calm, peaceful little girl who is already communicating with her amazing smiles and generous facial expressions.  Isabel is a fantastic older sister who is always concerned for her younger sibling’s welfare.

The Lord has been good to us this month in allowing us a quick transition from spring into summer. The days in Macau are longer and the heat much more intense. It is a definite struggle to stay hydrated and healthy in temperatures up to 35 degrees C for a prolonged period. Hopefully, some rain will arrive to cool down the situation.

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven (Ecc. 3:1)
