Later, after getting a teaching certificate and a BA degree in English from Seattle Pacific University, she returned to Brazil to teach in a mission school. She and her husband served there together for thirteen years. More recently, they have worked in Christian schools in Central Florida and are currently active in their church. They have four married children and five grandchildren.
