One July Sunday, several of us gals from the base drove up to Anderson Dam and had a morning of prayer. We each went our separate ways and spent time with God. It was so wonderful. We all were very blessed by it and hope to do it again in the fall.
Julie, Dawson and Laci arrived in the middle of July to spend a month here. Jesse stayed behind in Hawaii for a few weeks to finish their moving process for their next assignment in San Antonio, TX. We made a trip to Roseburg, Oregon to speak at our sending church and to visit family.
I love it when my family is together, but we are missing Jesse here.
Four generations (my mom, me, Julie and Laci)

While we were gone, Eric and Janet Thimell ran the house. They fixed things and cleaned. They let us borrow their car for our trip to Roseburg. Janet made the food for our Friday night dinner. We were so blessed! We are excited they will be moving here Labor Day Weekend! Right after we got back to Idaho, Ed and I went to Burley, Idaho for a mission’s conference at Burley’s First Baptist Church. We stayed with Jerry and Ouanda Walton. What great hosts!
We jumped into VBS at the base chapel after this. Julie was the unsung hero spending the entire week in the nursery. Stephanie and I were the “celebration leaders” for our week in Babylon learning about Daniel. We had around 80 children.
When Jesse was finished in Hawaii, he flew to Florida to attend the Air Force Sergeants Association (AFSA) conference. Previously he was selected as the nominee from District 14 (includes Hawaii, Japan, Guam, Korea, Washington, Alaska…) to compete for Airman of the Year for the entire Air Force. Well, JESSE WON! Below he is pictured with the Secretary of the Air Force. This is a HUGE deal and we are so proud of Jesse!
After the conference, Jesse flew to Boise and joined us for a few days.
We all got to visit with Aunt Myrna and Uncle Drexell Barnes and attend our supporting church there (Bible Baptist of Payette, ID)
Love, love, love these babies!
Love, love, love my family! Jesse, Julie and children are in Texas now searching for a house. It was a wonderful month and I’m tired :)
