Lots of Excitement in our family as you can see.

No doubt you can see that we have had and are having lots of excitement in our family. Just this pass week, we were with Richard and Katherine and of course, Jessica - the night before they left Zambia - Sarah gave birth to Miriam Anna who weighed approx 8lbs 6oz and that same weekend, Rachel was in Prince Edward Island meeting Leonard's family.
We are so thankful for the Lord's care and provision for each of our family. We know that He is in control - even to the point of taking us home in April to see Bill and this is the very time when Don, Rachel and I met Leonard!
We continue to praise Him for all that is passed and trust Him for all that is to come.
If anyone wants our latest news letter - please email us at dandebrooks@gmail.com
Thanks for all your prayers

Our happy daughter Rachel with Leonard VandenBerg

Taken at Canada House

Where we had supper after our visit to Mbulundu. Included here are two sisters from Angola, Ruth Hadley and a colleague. Exciting for Richard and Katherine to meet them and for Richard to be able to follow the Portugese. Sachiyuka was also with us.
