<div>So very good to hear from you. At those moments when I have had time to think you have been on my mind and heart. Please hang in there and stay focused. It is good to hear you are job hunting, and it does take time. Sometimes you have to start with "not the right" thing until the right thing comes along.

<div>Next week I will put a longer catch up note together but here are some highlights.</div>
<div>Letha has been ordained as an Episcopal priest and is fund raising for a mission position serving Hmong people at an inner city St. Paul congregation.</div>
<div>Bert and I sold our house and are now living in a smallish apartment in downtown Mpls. -- loved the big house but too much work, time and money to keep it all gong. Huge amount of work getting out of the house, lots in storage until we figure out what to do next.
</div>
<div>I am on medical leave with 1 new hip and the other half new, healing is slow but a miracle and I am thankful to be on this side of surgery.</div>
<div>Bert's mother died last week after months of various health crises and the service is on Sat. the 5th.</div>
<div>My mother is doing pretty well.</div>
<div>All the rest of the family is great. Nick and family are doing mission work including raising support with YWAM and have worked in Cambodian slums, Thailand and small Pacific islands though they are based in Kona, Hawaii. They are part of the Water for Life project.
</div>
<div>Bert is still working though he wants to retire and I have to go back to work in another week, but I do like my job.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Please take care of yourself and stay in touch.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>And our best wishes for a wonderful and different 2008 as you redirect your talent, regain focus and energy and put some of the pieces in place each day..</div>
