Friends from Las Cruces, NM - July 2008

We are about to wrap up our wonderful time in Las Cruces, New Mexico. The work at the University was great with possibilities for continued cooperation. Adriana and I felt very much at home with the desert climate and New Mexico has become our newest home state. The land is beautiful and enchanted - just like Narnia. And above all we made new friends - who make life so much more exciting and worth living.
Thanks to you all.
Paulo and Adriana

It will produce thorns and thistles for you,
and you will eat the plants of the field, Gen. 3:18
