5 years ago yesterday (9/19/02) Al and Rachel were married in Belem, Para, Brazil. 4 years ago yesterday, they flew to the US....Al's first time out of the country. 3 years ago, they found a depth to their faith in messianic lifestyle. 2 years ago, they moved to TX. 1 year ago, Rachel had a little pregnant belly on her and yesterday, with Hava in arms, Al and Rachel celebrated an incredible first half of a decade together.

Thank you to all of you who have been there for us over the past 5 years. We love you and are grateful that our lives have been blessed because of you. We prayed for you yesterday, as we will continue to do.

May we always be at peace with and full of understanding of the years and lives the L-rd has blessed us with.
