We are on the road again ...this time in our car! On our way back to Florida after six weeks at our mission's home office in Colorado Springs, CO. 1800 long miles from Colorado. Plenty of time for Karen and I to solve all the world's problems!

God has worked in so many ways in the past few months and we are rejoicing for the following answers to things we've been concerned about and praying for:

- As of November 1, Curt has a new boss. Wayne Pederson, former Director of Radio at Moody, is HCJB Global's new president. It was great meeting with him the past few weeks.

- Karen and I had a great trip to Spain in November for meetings with our North Africa/Middle East staff. We also had the chance to kid-sit our regional director's 4 kids for a week (they are German). We communicated with each other in Spanish, although the Spanish in Spain seems to be on high adrenaline compared to Ecuador! We didn't lose any kids and we think we got them to all their classes and other activites on time.

- Carissa, Bryan and Brandon all joined us for Thanksgiving in Colorado Springs. And for Christmas this year, we are all returning to Ecuador as a family. This has been the desire of our kids for a couple of years - so how cool is that?

Please pray for us as we begin the process of trying to rent our home in Florida so that we can move to Colorado Springs to serve our mission better. Our hope is that we can move by the end of the first quarter of 2009.

Mil gracias - a thousand thanks.
