Dear Friend,
When you have a family that is not able to get together very often, you rejoice at each opportunity. If this is the case then we have been doing a lot of rejoicing these last six months. We just realized that during this period we have been together 3 times; Christmas, Faith and Rodney's wedding, and now the last of May.

Last Saturday the Jongeward family tree went fishing. The Unruh branch (Faith & Rodney) provided the lunch and the fishing poles. Rachel, Giovanni, Alex and Miguel provided the enthusiasm. Alex caught 5 or 6 fish. Miguel observed how it was done and toward the end he was reeling a fish in before any adult saw what was happening! The trunk of the tree reveled in the joy of us all being together. Harold took lots of pictures. Becky had always wanted to fish but we never had any fishing rods. Now Faith got herself a Rod and we all had more than enough rods to go around! 

 


The last day of our time together Harold went to Atlanta with Rachel and Giovanni. Becky went to Virginia with Faith for Melody Ricker's wedding. The trip to Atlanta was unexpected but due to a mix-up in Rachel and Giovanni's tickets this was the only way to solve it. We saw God's hand in the timing of this trip. Harold was expecting to attend the wedding with Faith and me, so had asked for the day off. This left him free to do what God knew he was going to do anyway!

We also praise the Lord that the first person outside of the SIM family to see the house has become a very serious buyer. It is not sold yet, so please pray that Karen's (the potential buyer) house will sell in time to buy Mom's.

  • We also praise the Lord that the software conversion has gone quite smoothly!
  • We praise the Lord for His provision of half our out-going expenses.
  • Pray for a good time of transition for Harold these last 2 ½ weeks in the office.
  • Pray that Becky will have a good time of Amharic language study with a former language school teacher.
  • Pray for safety in driving across the States when we leave here July 6.

In  Christ's love,

Harold and Becky
