Ric and Sharon Bruce Last night we went to the beach to celebrate Sharon finishing her Cherokee analysis. It was great to walk along the boardwalk, splash in the waves, and feel free at last. Here are some pictures:

The Beach… Celebrating
Tuesday, November 10th, 2009Settling In for the Long Haul

Sharon sitting down to sort through mounds of Cherokee data.
As Sharon sits behind me she alternately scratches her head, bounces her knees, and bangs some phonetic writing out on the keyboard. Today is her first full day of work after four full days of packing, cleaning, traveling, visiting, and unpacking. Outside the orange leaves on the trees are almost gone and rain is in the forecast for the next three days. In the kitchen is a pot of hot coffee and under Sharon’s feet a small space heater breathes warmly on her feet. Ideal conditions.
Now if only the computer would work right, the data would fit together perfectly, someone would spoon food into her mouth, and the kitchen would clean itself. Then it would be perfect, but that’s probably asking too much isn’t it?
Please pray that Sharon will be able to focus on her studies and finish her analysis of the Cherokee language before we hit the road in a few days!
The Internship… Day One
Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009
Today we started an internship designed to launch us into ministry and continue our training at the church that sent us into Missionary Training (Trinity Church). Our titles are "Global Outreach Interns" and our tasks for the next few months are taking shape as we meet with those supervising us. We will get far more out of the internship than the hours we put in and feel blessed to serve with such a dedicated and hard-working staff. We will certainly keep you updated on the progress and post more about it as it becomes clear to us. For now, we are excited and encouraged about what the next year has in store for us as we seek to raise the financial and prayer support we need to go to Cambodia next July.
Mother’s Day
Sunday, May 10th, 2009
This mother’s day we’d just like to thank our mothers who spent so much time and effort raising us. We both are blessed to have excellent families and especially dedicated mothers who love us very much. Although we weren’t able to be with them we still thought about them often.
