Big Snow in Baker City

We got our share of snow over the night. We woke up this morning with about six inches of new snow.
That’s on top of what we already had, about 10 or 12 inches. So it is getting pretty deep around here.
As you can see, it is really piling up in our back yard.

The view from our back yard toward the Wallowa Mountains (or Eagles as they are called around here) is pretty spectacular.


Here is Sherrill running the snow blower clearing our driveway.

It’s Good To Be Home

It is good to be back in Baker City. After being gone for nearly three weeks, it is good to be back amongst the wonderful fellowship we experience here at the Baker City Christian Church. People are so warm and welcoming, and we are so encouraged.

We always miss our kids and grandkids when we are not with them, but we had a good long visit, and we left feeling good that everyone is doing well.

Griffin has been a big concern with the problems he had right after birth. But he is looking good, and seems to be a very healthy baby. We continue to pray for good health and strong development.

Off To Mexico

Now my big chore is getting ready to leave for a short term mission trip to Mexico. A group of ten people from BCCC are going down to Niños de México (an orphanage for Mexican street children) to build playground equipment for two or three of their orphanage houses.


We are excited about this opportunity, and are getting our bags packed to fly out for Mexico from Boise on February 2. We will be there for one week to work, spend time with the kids and staff of Niños, and experience some of the Mexican culture. Please be praying for us as we travel, work and experience ministry in Mexico City.
