Dan Thiessen arrived from Canada yesterday. On Wednesday we will fly to Altamira together. From there Dan will travel spend time with other missionaries while I will return to Marabá.
Sunday at church Dan told some stories about his childhood in Indonesia where he grew up in a jungle mission station. Dan also told the story about how he (11 years old) was playing with my dad’s tractor, pushing the buttons around the steering wheel, while I (three years old) was playing around the fan belts of the same tractor. The starter button turned the engine over. One of my fingers got permanently shortened.
Dan is on the XM Canada board. We are so grateful to have someone whose whole life has revolved around missions and Christian leadership on the team.
