We returned in February from 4 months in Asia.  In March Birch went to the Central African Republic. In April we all went to Venezuela.  In May/June Birch went to Peru.

We do not travel overseas again until January 12th. There will be 12 people traveling the entire time and two joining us along the way for short
periods.  The twelve include the four of us, Connie's parents (Bible Translation consultants with BI), Kristy (who has been traveling with us
since 2003), Carla (this will be her third trip with us), Leigha (this is her second trip) and three newcomers: Leigha's sister Bethany, Allyssa and Sarah.  Kristy will be doing literacy work, Carla will be doing linguistic and literacy work, Leigha will be doing formatting and editing and Bethany will be assisting her, Sarah will be helping on the translation workshops and Allyssa will be chasing the boys.

We plan to be in Myanmar for 2 months, take 5 days vacation in Bangkok and then go to India for 2
months.  At this time the Myanmar government is not granting visas to visit the country.  This is a matter of prayer.
