Here is a quick update and a review of the summer for us, as well as a look forward into the fall.
Dear <<First Name>>,
The summer has flown by, and now we are well into September already. Our rhythm of life is fairly steady. Debbie continues to work two afternoons a week at the CPA firm, mostly doing special projects to help out. She also spends two mornings a week with Emery, our 3 ½ year old grand-daughter, and they have enjoyed many adventures together. Also, one night a week we have a grandma, grandpa and Emery dinner date, with dad-Joel joining at times too. Laura has school that night!
Brett is learning all about house remodeling as he works with our friend on a house he and his wife are buying. While business keeps chugging along, each day for weeks now, Brett and Dave have demoed and restored most of the house. They hope to be done in the next two weeks or so.
Things we have done this summer:
Celebrated many family birthdays

Thank you for following us, praying for us, and helping us! Whether we are touching Asia, Africa, ME and Europe through pastoral care and coaching, or whether it's caring for our grandkids, we know we cannot do this without you! AND, if the list above is too thin on details - send us an email, or note, and we can fill you in more!
We love you, we love Jesus, and we love the nations as well.
Brett and Debbie!
