Good afternoon, everyone!  We arrived in the states a few days ago, greeted by cold, wet drizzle...quite a change!  We have come to attend the Center for Intercultural Training in N,C, which starts next week.  We are also visiting with some partners, and will come to Athens one wekend to participate in our church's missions conferrance. THEN (how convienent!) we'll be on hand to welcome our first grandchild....Peter Niel...into the world in mid march!

Had a wonderful lunch with our biggest fan Ginny along with another sweet couple who had been missionaries in Honduras in the early fifties.  Really enjoyed swapping of stories.

We'll write more soon, but the availability nof internet is sporatic for us at this point.

Blessings to all, Niel.
