Hi Nannette and staff,

The news is that on Oct 18, Mariegold Burn ("Marvelgold") and I were married at Shiloh SDA church in Belize City, Belize, Central America, by a godly pastor, Pr. Albert Reid.

Marie contacted me around 12 months ago, and soon the wires were running hot as we got aquainted, and found we had lots in common, with a strong commitment to our loving Lord as No. 1 for both of us.

Last Aug. I got a sign from God I should travel from my home near Tamworth, NSW, Australia, to meet Marie. So I did, arriving Oct. 8. Marie surely was as wonderful as I expected, and more -we became engaged Oct. 12, following some clear signs from God.

I shall email a wedding photo when available.

While Hurricane Wilma raged far enough away, we enjoyed a few days' honeymoon, then set up home in Cayo, western Belize, before I had to return to Australia Nov. 2. We plan to serve our Lord from the basis of our marriage.

I plan to return to Belize January '06 to live there permanently.

So, to the members of CSD, we'd repeat, just let go and let God be your Master, and His plans for you will unfold like an opening flower! Don't be surprised if God leads you into a cross-cultural relationship either -these can be most enriching when approached positively.

Nannete, thankyou for your generous offers to me recently, I'm sorry I haven't replied ere this, I hope the above might help to explain why, as well as that I moved house just before I went to Belize.

With God's further blessings for you all and CSD,

Rod (Truhart)
