Greetings from Boston!
Today we arrived in Boston, where Monica will be a student at Brandeis University. She is very excited about this new adventure.

Today Kenneth returned to the University of Florida, where he is working on his Geomatics degree. He loved his internship with a surveying company during our summer and was also privileged to attend an international and national conference for surveyors. Looking at his excitement to go work each day, the Lord has led him to something he is passionate about.
This weekend we celebrated the successful completion of mandatory schooling for the Dell family with an excellent Chinese dinner. After 14 years, it felt strange not to send a child to school!
Celebrating the end of mandatory schooling!
Cultural Experience
We had a fun experience recently when invited to “Quinceanera.” It is the traditional coming-of-age celebration for Latinas. Our Puerto Rican neighbours hosted this for their granddaughter. It is an elegant party on the girl’s 15th birthday – thanking God for her and marking her transition from childhood to womanhood. We were amazed at her beautiful gown!

Prayer Requests:
- Praise the Lord that both Kenneth and Monica were home for the summer.
- While Marie’s mother visited us, she had a fall and injured her shoulder. This week they will decide if she needs surgery. We are praying that she will not need it. Please join us in praying for her recovery.
- Pray for Monica to settle well into her new life and to find a Christian community quickly.
- Stefan will be in Asia for three weeks to help train church planters. Pray for his safety and stamina.
Your Missionaries,
The Dells
