352 Miles
Miles total 3140

Today, we drove over 300 miles to go up to visit Katherine and Kevin Stabler, YWAM missionaries that served with us in Bolivia. Our lives didn’t cross much back in the day, but we sure enjoyed their friendship over the years.

We sat around the breakfast bar and enjoyed our conversation reliving sweet memories of the past. We remembered how we drove out to San Ignacio back with the kids were little. We saw where they were building a school for the folks in their church. We used a bucket to take C.O.L.D. Showers and learned how to milk a cow. Fun times.

We made 2 quick FaceTime calls so Katherine could see Ellen’s 2 youngest and visit with Ellen over the phone. We also talked to dad. They showed us around their farm house, built up on the hill overlooking the small valley. Kevin is a hunter and this is a perfect location for him. I’m so happy for their ministry through the years and their impact on global workers.

We had tried to get tickets for Sight and Sound and they were not available, so we asked Jonathan and Susan to join us for dinner at Shady Maple, a traditional Swedish/Amish Smorgasbord Restaurant. We drove the 2.5 hours back towards the Yoder’s home and met them at the restaurant.

Yes, I am stuffed. It was a fun experience. Then we showed Jonathan and Susan how the letter box thing works. We found one right on the back parking lot of Shady Maple.Read more
