Dear Friends,
I am home from Bolivia and wanted to share some parting pictures and thoughts. Sometimes I get tired and wonder if doing this WFA stuff is really worth doing. I am in my 50s now and the only thing I know how to do is bang a hole in the ground. Seems silly sometimes. [...]
Dear Friends,
Here are a few more from Bolivia. Also had two requests for help today, one from Nicaragua and one from Mexico. They just keep coming. I talked to Teo and he says they have four rigs with four well clubs working right now in four communities. Fun stuff! [...]

Dear Friends,
I am back in Texas for a bit and wanted to share some of our activities and photos of 4 more family wells in Ethiopia just done and one in Uganda. Pray for Rob and families as Rob is staying out in Gora with families helping them drill wells. [...]

Dear Friends,
