Early Fall 2016

We had a great lunch with Matt and Annick Slick of CARM. We met them at the apologetics conference we went to in April. They live in our area. We also got to sit in on his daily radio show. What a treat!

Of course, I have to insert a picture of Riley...:)

Table Rock in Boise. 

Spending time with my mom and step dad in New Plymouth, Idaho

Preparing for the Operation Christmas Child ministry. Once again, we are teaming up with the chapel.

Joyce Schroeder from Cadence HQ visited us. I took her to Bruneau Dunes. We were just going to look at it. We ended up climbing to the top. What fun!

This bougainvillea plant was given to me when Julie was born 26 years ago. It normally doesn't bloom like this. 

Our supervisor, Dick Reynolds and his wife MaryEtta visited us. We are very encouraged. We four go way back with them. Dick and MaryEtta were youth sponsors in Ed's youth group in high school. They were also our supervisors (all four of us) back in the 90's in Germany. We all still like each other. :)

I meet with Xiomara every week at her house on base. While we were talking, her two oldest sons were playing outside. "The Star Spangled Banner" started over the loud speaker and they immediately stopped and placed their hands on their chests and waited for the song to be over. They didn't know we were watching them.
