28 Apr Death of Jean Bell’s Mother

Wes and Jean Bell are UB endorsed missionaries doing educational work with Wycliffe Bible Translators in Brazil. The following report came on April 28 from Jean Bell:
“We can hardly believe it’s May–only four weeks of school left and less than 2 months before we leave here for a six- furlough in the U.S.
As some of you know, my mother went to be with the Lord on March 26. I was able to be there with my family for 5 days. The grieving we did together was healing. For your gifts, cards, notes of sympathy and compassion, I thank you. Often over the past months as my mother’s health deteriorated, I said, ‘Thank God for heaven!’ I still say it but with more enthusiasm than ever, knowing my mother is there now too. Thank you again for your encouragement.”
