Earlier this week I got a new oven!!!! The apartment we moved into had a few furnishings and included a very old stove and oven. From the beginning I had trouble using the oven, but I figured it was my inability to convert the Celsius temperature to Fahrenheit. Well, after nearly three months of burning […]
We ended up at the Doctors office this week. Maria came down with a fever on Monday night and was complaining that her ear hurt. She did not sleep well Monday night and by Tuesday morning I knew she was not well. She saw the Dr. that afternoon who was very friendly and nice. I […]
Things have been a bit easier now that we have internet. Bill has been slowly working on the course he is taking from MLC that he is six weeks behind on. This week he completed two assignments, so he is relieved to be making some progress. He is also happy to read the news again and […]

WELS Missionary Families will do language training in Portugal before moving to Mozambique before Christmas 2008.
