Happy Birthday to my man!


  Clint and I here in Paraguay


Today is Yekwanaman's birthday.  Jayde just finished a yellow cake with chocolate cream cheese icing which we will enjoy later on. Join me in celebrating his life of service!

Your WALK talks louder then your TALK talks. My husband preaches a good sermon, he preaches in 3 languages, but among the tribe, his life of service was the best sermon ever!

 Spending time in the round house with the elders. This is Chief Bertico


I’d rather see a sermon . . .
then hear one any day.
I’d rather you would walk with me,
than merely tell the way!
The eye’s a better pupil,
and more convincing than the ear.
Your words may be confusing,
but example’s always clear!
I’d rather learn my lessons
by observing how it’s done,
Conversation might be easy,
but your tongue too fast may run!
I may not fully understand
the fine advice you give,
But there’s no misunderstanding
how you act or how you live!
~Kristone






Here is my husband taking care of an asthmatic woman and giving medicine to a sick toddler.





Cooking soup for the village.







Pulling a bad tooth.






Visiting a village to provide needed medical attention and sharing the gospel. Made friends with the chief.






Delivering Bibles in the Ye'kwana language.









Teaching the Old Testament to Indian church leaders and pastors.











Making sure medical emergency patients were flown to town for treatment we could not provide in the village.







Removing stitches from a child's arm.








Hanging out and being part of their lives. In this case, getting ready to go hunting.

Happy birthday, Leatherneck ... but I can see from the photographs you are far more than that. I would like to hear more about your medical training one day.

Happy birthday to your husband. It's odd, your husband has that indian name, Yekwanaman. My father in law, who was a missionary in Africa, was called Meggida, which means roughly "Big Man" or "Boss."

Happy Birthday to your man! A very nice post, showing him off. It's a wonderful feeling to be proud of your husband, about who he is and what he does -- I know!
