I started reading back over our old blogs here and realized that everything has been about Hava lately....actually, we do still have lives, although she does take up a lot of them! :o)

Al is still working the same electrician's job. It has actually been pretty good to us. He has received raises and from about Nov/Dec til this week, he has been working a job site in Arlington - about 5 minutes from home. That made it so nice for him to come home for lunch and see us as well as leave later in the a.m. and get back sooner in the afternoon. He was in Denton for a few days this week and now in Grand Prairie. We wil see how the L-rd works as to where he will be more permanently now.

Rachel started back with her voice lessons at the academy about half-way through Feb. We have a recital coming up and the students are preparing for that. She has had some wonderful students come and go and some spectacular ones that have stayed the course. Right now, she is working with one young student who is involved in singing competitions, writing her own music, searching for a manager and recording contract.

Rachel is also still very involved at the congregation with the worship team and the children's ministries. This actually takes up quite a bit of her time, but is such a blessing to be able to serve from home. She is no longer teaching in the public schools since the L-rd has blessed to allow her to stay at home with Hava and have voice lessons at night when Al gets home to be with the baby.

Grandma is doing wonderfully! She has become somewhat active in a nearby church as well as our congregation on Saturdays. She is now driving herself around and is pretty good with directions around town now. She is also learning how to use the computer, internet and email with her private instructor, Rachel! :o) If you would like to email Evelyn and keep in touch with her, send Rachel an email and she will pass it on.

We are in the process right now (and have been over the past year) of preparing a missions project for Brazil. This is a musical outreach and will require quite a bit of planning, monetary donations and lots and lots of prayer for the L-rd's hand to guide us in His will. As time goes on, Rachel will inform more and more about this project. In the meantime, keep us in your prayers....and don't worry, more pictures of Hava are to come!!! :o)
