I spent 17 years in Brazil as a missionary with my husband and 3 children. We are back in the US now, except for our daughter who is a missionary in South Africa. We have 6 grandchildren (3 boys and 3 girls). Three are married, and three are working in the public sector. Over the years I have written many short stories for Sunday School papers, and one magazine article. I will have a children's book published in the fall.
