We have been busy cleaning, emailing, in meetings, job hunting, house hunting, and working on the landscaping of the Mission "House/Offices". Instead of talking too much, I will let the pictures clue you in. It has been busy, and will get busier and we keep cleaning, remodeling the offices, landscaping, and I look to visit the IOWA/NEBRASKA area during the 4th of July -- and then we will welcome robert back around July 15.... and hopefully close on a house in July.... and then I have a wedding up in the Cities on July 31st and I am trying to organize a 10 day trip to talk with mission teams and youth leaders in MN-WI-IA.
Sorry my bloggin' has been down,
I am planning on being more faithful in JULY
(we will be getting high speed then - so the slowest part of bloggin' will be my typing.
Thanks for your continued thoughts and prayers... more announcements, and pictures to come... so keep checking in...
