  This month's video letter is not real long and it is a little bit late, but it's here and that's what counts.  Find out about what we've been up to by clicking the play button below.  Hang on to your hat!

Gramma Michele has been a little tired of late and got a little behind on her letters - video and mail.  But today, I sat down and got it done!  Hope you all like this one!   Don't forget!  I love you!

  It's been a long month, but it's done.  And today starts another.  I'm counting done the days before I see some loved ones again.  Time is always ticking, isn't it? This month we focused on getting more of the people in our congregation involved in the ministry. Remember these monthly videos are not meant as a report of our missionary activities, but they tell a story nonetheless.  They are made specifically for my grandchildren.  Enjoy.

There is a new video letter up on my silly, little YouTube channel.  These are made for my grandchildren, but anyone is free to watch.  They are meant to tell a little of my life in Brazil and what has happened over the month. January was an usually warm month in our part of Bahia with the threat of thunderstorms from time to time, but little to no rain.  Northeast Brazilians know that if no rain comes in January, it is a bad sign of more drought to come.  We pray for rain to come soon.

  Wishing all our loved ones and friends a wonderful Christmas and a very Happy New Year.  We hope that 2026 brings much peace and joy to you and yours.   We plan to keep on keeping on and taking the Word of God to people living down the dirt roads of the Salitre Valley of Bahia. Remember that these video letters are made for my grandchildren, but you can enjoy them as well.  Take care!

     It's time for another video letter from Gramma Michele in Brazil.  Hope the grandkids and others like this one.  Not as long as some in the past, but just as full of news and smiles.

  Somehow, I missed the whole month of August!  I didn't even take very many photos!  But here's a short, newsy video letter to cover August and September!

 

  Just another video letter from Gramma Michele in Brazil.  Things have been sort of slow with no kids' Bible clubs these days, but we have been busy nonetheless with interior trips, visitors and washing machine problems.

 

We are winding down activities before our furlough with no pauses!  Byron has an eye surgery to complete in a few weeks.  Today three college guys arrive for a short missions trip.  And there is a list a mile long of things to take care of before we fly.   Here's a run-down of things so far since my last video letter.

  I think I missed March.  I'm not really sure where it went.  Perhaps it came in like a lamb and left like a lion?   Anyhooo, here's a new video letter from Gramma Michele for her grandkiddos and her one grandcat. I'm a-counting the days until I get to hug each one again.  Ok, it I may have to build back up again before I hug the cat.  Somebody look for good coupons on cat treats for bribes. Today makes 67 before we arrive!

  Another letter for my kiddos. Can you find out what these words mean: chuva, água, rios, buracos, borboletas, lama, escolinhas, futebol, casamento e amor? Let me know! Background scores from free music found at bensound.com And yes, we have tickets for furlough finally! June 11 we will arrive in Greensboro. Counting days!
