Mark writes: "I’ve finished my second tour of 2 months here in Amsterdam! I cannot believe how many people I’ve met here from different regions of the world including China, Japan, India, Iceland, Australia, Ukraine, Russia & also a few from the US.

"I’ve been visiting Crossroads Church since I arrived here and have enjoyed the ministry and seeing American missionaries.

"I have been able to see a few more things on my off time including Antwerp and Brussels, Belgium. I tried all the food your supposed to eat as a tourist (the waffles & cream, chocolate, fries etc..) and most lived up to the hype!

"A Russian friend Alisa (only a friend people!) I met while on tour happened to be an atheist and I was able to share my faith with her. I challenged her to read the Bible & e-mail me with any questions she has so please pray that God will work in her life."

Here's Joe, Beth and Joseph Benjamin (age 10 months) at Christmas. Joe says: "I am now well in to my 7th tax season (at Heemer, Klein & Co., P.C. CPA's). I have taken 3 of the 4 sections of the CPA exam. I missed the BEC (Business Environments and Concepts) section by 3 questions and plan to retake it right after tax season.

"Beth and I are still doing our church's bookkeeping, I teach the Jr high boys Sunday school class and Beth is in charge of the wee walkers so we are trying to stay busy in the church."

Tammy (Frits) Anglund ('00)

Tammy (and husband Erik) writes: "Things are flying along out here in Colorado.

"We have two daughters now: Elizabeth is 2 ½ and Abigail is 10 months. God has blessed and I am able to stay home with them full-time. I miss the working world a little but I love being home with them.

"We started attending a church plant about a year and a half ago called Northern Ridge Baptist Church. We are really enjoying the people and getting involved there. I am in charge of organizing the nursery ministry...

"It has grown rapidly. I believe there were only about 6-7 families last summer (2006) when we first started attending there, so God has really blessed. We are still praying that God will provide a permanent facility soon as we are quickly outgrowing our current facility."
