These Christmas pictures were received January 6, 1999.

Ken and Jessica guarding the luggage in the bus depot.
Is 4 hours a long time?
YES!

Joe and Jeanie (Dad and Mom) were happy to welcome the travelers home a week early. The surprise worked.

More pictures for the Album. As Lori tells the tale:

Ken asked me to go into the pump house and get some chlorine for the pool. I went down barefoot but kind of feeling funny like I should have put shoes on. When I turned on the light, my suspicions were confirmed ....there was a tarantula on the step going into the pump house. Got Ken's thong, camera, flashlight, alcohol and matches. The flashlight was to make enough light for the camera to take a picture. The thong was to kill the beast and the alcohol and matches were to thoroughly destroy him. There is a poison in their hairs that can burn....I didn't want the dogs to get hurt. So here is the beast and the burnt offering that he made. I was just REALLY glad I hadn't stepped on him and will use my shoes a little more often from now on! By the way.....his measurements (after being burned and shriveled up) were still 3x4 inches. I didn't ask the shoe size.

THE BEAST

THE OFFERING

(Lori doesn't say what Ken was doing without his thong - probably another story all together. Seriously, we are thankful that God watches. Editor.)

THE BWOKEN WOOM

JUST LOOK AT THIS BIG MESS DADDY MADE!

HERE ARE THE LATEST PICTURES OF THE PROJECT (6/6/99)

I am Alicia, and these are my
fine yellow rubber gloves!

Look at the remodeling my Dad is doing
in our house in Mossoró.

AN EXCITING BOOK

I was reading this exciting book
and my chair got so
excited it bucked me off....

It broke my collar bone.
This cast is helping me get well.
I will hang on better next time.

Here are Maria and Maxwell.

A Trip to the Zoo
(You Can Come Along Too)
Lori and the girls took the summer intern to the Mossoró zoo. This is what they saw. Alicia was most impressed (of all the exotic animals) with the pig.
Jessica had a hard time seeing the aligators in the water.

Hey! Did you see a snake?

Sssssssss...

No snakes over here!

A TRIP THROUGH BRAZIL AND INTO CHILE
September 1999

The meeting of the Negro & Solimoes Rivers...becoming the Amazon (near Manaus)	Ipanema Beach in Rio de Janeiro (but where is that girl from the song?)	Copacobana Beach in Rio... This is quiet different from Mossoro!
Christ the Redeemer statue looking over the city of Rio	The Osorno Volcano in the Andes Mountains in Chile	Winter Sunset in Santiago, Chile

Pico de Cabuji
is an extinct volcano a 2-hour drive from the Stucky compound.
One day an excurision was launched at 5AM.

This is Pico de Cabuji from a distance. An easy walk - right? NOT!

Here a bit closer view. Let's see Ken is the photographer - he must be rear guard too!

October 1999 - Ken has been developing concrete panels. These pictures show him and crew using a crane to hoist the panels to the top of a storeroom father Joe built. They plan to use this type of panels for ceilings in the new school buildings and other future projects.
