Pictures on Mother's Day, 2008

Here is the family with Moises Kang on Mother's day, 2008. Moises moved in with the Kuhns family on April 1, 2008. He came to Pan American Christian Academy (PACA) second semester after his Christian school in Cuiaba, Mato Grosso, Brazil announced that they would close at the end of the school year. The Wycliffe Bible Translator ministry was completed in Cuiaba because they were finished doing all of the translation work in the area. Without the Wycliffe missionaries the school did not have enough students to survive.

Moises is a junior and is a missionary kid from Korea. His father and mother are working to evangelize the Native Brazilian Indians in Mato Grosso. Mato Grosso is the same state that Jay and Kirsten Edwards lived in before they moved North to Boa Vista, Roraima, Brazil. Jay and Kirsten still work part of each year in Querencia, Mato Grosso. Moises was living with one of his father's friends in downtown Sao Paulo at the beginning of the semester. Because Moises was forced to get up at 4:30 each morning to ride the city bus to PACA and then, after school, ride the bus back downtown arriving at around 7:00 each evening his father became concerned and asked the school to find another home for Moises. Moises has been a big help to us as he is fluent in Portugese, English and Korean. He makes it a lot easier to order pizza over the phone and read our mail.

Wishing you could throw one of those oranges over the wall to us! Glad we were your neighbors for a short time. We're loving being home in Manitoba, but missing Brazil! Love reading and following your journey through your blog!
