Well, it’s been another long silence from me.  I apologize.  The past several weeks have been filled with family and Valley matters that have consumed more of my time than I’d have ever imagined.  All are well.  All is well.

I depart for the Valley tomorrow morning.  I should spend Monday and Tuesday in Manaus wrapping up some administrative details, then on to Parintins Tuesday evening.

I can hardly contain myself with the desire to see our Beatriz.  She is brand new – completely re-fitted from hull to upper roof.  Luiza has been withholding photos from me to keep my curiosity up.  She’s simply said that the Beatriz and Lori are beautiful…

- Our trips seem to be set for the summer season.  I look forward to being part of the unfolding of the days.  I’m grateful for the opportunity God has granted me to be part of it all – Grateful, indeed…

From the Helm will continue from the Valley in a couple of days.  I thank you for your continued prayers and support over the next days as we venture together on new rivers leading to new peoples…
