Martin: Back to painting the front door area. Will be glad to see it finished, so will Ruth.

Me: We met my long time friend, Todd, his wife Andria and their new little one, Ella yesterday at Hope Church. They have been visiting the states since January but are heading back home on April 12th to Rwanda. Todd and Andria have been missionaries in Africa for two years and are doing some incredible things for the people of Rwanda. Check out their web-site: "City of Joy".

It was really nice to see them. Todd and I used to work together at Iowa Okoboji Lutheran Bible Camp in the late 80's!

My Mom, brother, Curt and sister-in-law, Nancy arrived last night. Yeah! Today Nancy went swimming with Bob and I, Mom rode the stationary bike at the gym while we lifted weights, Mom and I watched Kavan for a couple hours, Bob painted, and we all toured "The Project" (our new house!).
