RIII B-day

We just celebrated Richard III's 10th birthday this past Sabbath at Roxana's parent's house in Targu-Mures, Romania. Then we went to a salt mine on Sunday about an hour and half away. Attached are a few pictures for you to enjoy.

Re: Home for Sale - Colfax, CA

Howdy Richard,

Are you moving away? Is this a house upgrade in the works?

Sarah and I are looking at selling our current house. We don't really care for the location, and it's a bit small for our needs. But it's hard to find good housing in this area.

Richard II's 3_ Birthday


Ok, so I'm 32 now and no, I didn't have a cake, or a party, no presents and nobody sang "Happy Birthday" (except my friend Daniel's five year old boy over the phone from Sweden). But getting so many happy birthday wishes through Facebook made up for it all (they should pay me to say that).



This isn't to say that I didn't have a good time or something. In fact, I had a great weekend. We joined up with a couple other families with kids, and headed up to the mountains for some fun in the snow. Just 40 min. north of where we live, it's over 5000 feet elevation and plenty of fresh powder for some good sledding. It was just as much fun as skiing (ok, almost) but at least I didn't have to pay those pricey lift tickets!

Richard III's 5th Birthday

From R3 5th B-day


Ok, so Richard celebrated his 5th birthday some time ago, but hey, life's been busy, and it hasn't been easy uploading pictures through this weak cell phone connection that we have. It's been fun getting to know all the new faces here at Weimar and celebrating with them. There are several kids Zachary's age, but unfortuately no one for Richard. He still misses his friend Elliot very much from Sweden. But having a grandma and grandpa closer by has made up for some of the loss.

Our Next Big Adventure

After much thought and prayer, we accepted a call to Amazing Facts which has recently merged with Weimar Institute in Northern California. It was a difficult decision to make as we were faced with many interesting opportunities. But we believe the Lord has led us to a place that will be the best all-around fit for work and family.

I will be serving as the Media Director for Weimar. Some of what I will do will include starting a new media training course for their college as well as producing health and educational videos for their lifestyle program. Roxana will continue in her role as Mother and Teacher of our two children, Richard III and Zachary, from home.

We are so grateful for all your prayers and support during this important time in our life. We are certainly looking forward to being closer to family and friends and oh, did I mention some sun?

Leaving LifeStyleTV, Part 2

Well, we've finally fixed a date for leaving LifeStyleTV. June 30 will be my last day at work. We haven't yet committed to where we will go next, but we hope that you will pray with us as we seek God's will.

A Spring Day in Sweden

It was our turn to watch the TV station today, so instead of going to church we got to enjoy some of the beauties of Spring.

Trip to Romania

We returned from Romania just in time to welcome in the new year. Here in Sweden, they did not disappoint. Fireworks were going off all around us. It felt like our quiet country surroundings had been transformed into some kind of war zone. Roxana and the boys have nearly recovered from being sick and now it was my turn today with a mild fever. What people say about visiting Romania in winter is true, don't do it! It was consistently between -5 and -10 C and a heavy fog persisted on most days. For most Romanians, heating is expensive and kept to a minimum, but Roxana's parents did their best to keep us warm.

From Herghelia Studio

We felt this was an important trip not just for me to explore a position at the Herghelia TV studio, located about a half-hour drive outside of town, but also for the boys to spend some quality time with grandparents and other relatives. Although we weren't able to get out much because of the poor weather and the family's health, we still had a very enjoyable time and I was able to spend three quality days at Herghelia, getting to know the media team and doing a bit of volunteer tutoring. Roxana and I are still processing the idea of moving to Romania and weighing it against some options that have come up in California. It's important that it be a Win/Win situation for me as well as for Roxana and her ministry to our children. We're grateful for your continued prayers as we seek the Lord's will. We've settled on May 1st for my resignation from LifeStyleTV so we'll need to make a decision in the near future.

Trip to Stockholm

I'm enjoying the day off today after returning home last night with my family from a week long production at Ekebyholm, the Adventist high-school near Stockholm. This particular trip was unique because it was the first time that myself, the audio technician and our four Media Missionaries were the only ones who came from LifeStyleTV. The producer thought it would be better for me to lead this time while he and the others worked on other projects at the station. All I can say is that the Lord really blessed with a very smooth production. We taped every morning and night a week of prayer with Jeffrey Rosario. My crew and equipment performed very well and we all had a good time.


As a bonus, it happened to be Roxana's birthday that week, so we all took a day off between meetings on Thursday to have some fun in Stockholm. We took a quick trip by the castle where the king and queen live, ate at this amazing vegetarian all-you-can-stuff-yourself-silly restaurant that overlooks the river, and visited a museum that houses the Vasa, a 17th century Swedish war ship that sank in the harbor on her maiden voyage due to design flaws stubbornly held onto by the king at that time. Then we finished off at one of Stockholm's premier bakeries for cake and a tour by one of the bakers who happens to be a good friend and former Media Missionary at LifeStyleTV.
