Subject: Daniel’s high school graduation; Ariela in Cinderella; Texas family reunion

We are very proud of Daniel, our 2026 graduate! We will celebrate with Daniel and two of his friends, who are also graduating, from the school our kids attend on Wednesdays. Daniel will continue the work he loves, learning and honing his skills in plumbing, electrical, and HVAC at PS Property Services in Blue Springs, MO. We are delighted that he will continue to live at home!

Ariela is performing in the Cinderella musical at their school, Mighty Roots Academy. She does a great job acting and singing (see the pictures below). This Saturday will be her second performance.

We’ve been traveling recently. Todd preached and gave a missions update at Graham Union Church in Graham, Missouri. We visited Todd’s mom in her nursing home in Oklahoma City, OK, and then went on to Dallas, TX, for a family reunion with Pam’s side of the family. It was a special time for Pam and her three sisters to be together, and for us to catch up with our Texas nephews, nieces, and their spouses. A highlight for Ariela was a horse-riding lesson from her cousin! We all visited the Dallas/Ft. Worth National Cemetery, where Pam’s mom and Dad, Mal and Barbie Hughes, are buried. This was our first time seeing their finished headstones (see pictures below).

We are plugging away at translating 2 Samuel in the Gurbet language. We’re thankful that Goran, one of the Gurbet translators, was healthy enough today to join us online for our regular Wednesday session. Thank you for continuing to pray for him as he battles health issues with breathing and autoimmune issues. We’ve also made good progress translating Acts and James into the Macedonian Arli language during our Friday online sessions.

Thank you for being on our team for the Kingdom!

Todd & Pamala
