					<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Dan Thiessen arrived from Canada yesterday. On Wednesday we will fly to Altamira together. From there Dan will travel spend time with other missionaries while I will return to Marabá.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Sunday at church Dan told some stories about his childhood in Indonesia where he grew up in a jungle mission station. Dan also told the story about how he (11 years old) was playing with my dad&#8217;s tractor, pushing the buttons around the steering wheel, while I (three years old) was playing around the fan belts of the same tractor. The starter button turned the engine over. One of my fingers got permanently shortened.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Dan is on the XM Canada board. We are so grateful to have someone whose whole life has revolved around missions and Christian leadership on the team.</div>
