Family Picture, July 2009

This picture was taken in Bemidji, MN, on the first day of our Stilwell reunion. It was a very sunny day and it was hard to not squint.

Boys in the U.S.A.

We stopped at the home of the couple that is letting us borrow a minivan for our furlough. We had to drop of Jon's brother David's van. While there, Luke drove the tractor while Mark and Michael rode in the back.


At Itaska State Park near Bemidji, MN, the boys crossed the Mississippi River. It was rainy that day and we were in a hurry so we didn't stay very long. We have two supporting churches in the area, so we will be back and maybe we can spend more time there.






The men in my life need to keep up their soccer skills.


One of our favorite places to visit while in the States is at Uncle Raymond and Aunt Laurie's place. They live in the country in north central Tennessee. They have a large yard, a small farm and lots of things to do.
