About Me

Portel, Para, Brazil
After over 40 years as a Christian, God called me to serve in Brazil as a missionary...a dream I had for 10 years, since my first visit to the Amazon. I am single again, and I have 2 wonderful children (and a terrific daughter-in-law), 9 grandchildren, and 2 great-granddaughters.

Going back to Brazil!

Oh my gosh! God has invited me to serve with Him in northern Brazil once again! Of course, I said yes! I will be leaving February 5, 2016.

It amazes me that He would allow me to go back, this time to a newer base in Portel, Para, hundreds of miles from my old base in Altamira.



I will be serving with Richie and Christie Bouthillier, who started this base of the Xingu Mission www.xingu.org.

As I prepare to leave, I have so much to do in just a month...

  • Pray a lot, for guidance and peace.
  • Pack what I will take with me (2 suitcases and one carry-on for all my worldly goods!)
  • Store or give away the rest of my "stuff."
  • Recruit a prayer team (and financial support team).
  • Teach my neighbors to use Skype.
  • Spend as much time as possible with grandkids.
  • Say tearful goodbyes to my family and friends.
  • Pray a lot!
As I get ready to leave, I hope to write more. I invite you to follow my blog.
