Alicia is preparing to return to the US this year. At our annual meeting the mission family bid her God's speed as she makes final plans.

In 2007 Jackie celebrates 30 years serving with the International Mission Board. She, along with many other missionaries received recognition for years of service at the annual meeting.

While they appear joyful it will be hard for Mike and Annette to leave Alicia in the USA and return to an "empty nest".

After the annual meeting several missionaries took a side trip to Iguazu Falls. It was a place of beauty and amazement at God's creation.

At the Bird Park near the Falls Jackie got brave enough to allow this Green and Blue Macaw to get up close and personal.

Lots of walking was required and the heat was high but the Falls were magnificient and worth the extra effort required.
