Repairs at La Boca - Part #1

This village church was built several years ago and some of the plaster is beginning to crack and fall away from the adobe. Our missionary work team is traveling 3 hours each day to work on these repairs. The first part of the trip is on good, but mountainous roads, the last part is on very rough gravel and dirt roads.

Cracked and missing plaster.

Nathan Weaver, Marc, Logan and Jordan Sankey and Kent Stetler begin the job of taking off the cracked plaster.

Getting some lunch in the nearby town of San Rafael.

Senior Trip

After graduating, Kent and his cousin, Kenny, took a Senior Trip to Branson with their Dads. It was called a Senior Trip because the boys were Seniors in High School and the Dads are Senior Citizens. ;o)


They went to an outdoor drama, Shepherd of the Hills...


... the Sight and Sound production of Noah's Ark...

... and Silver Dollar City.

While they were there, they met up with Darrell II and family.

I'm fairly sure Branson will never be the same. :D

Beautiful!

The sign indicating that there is a speedbump. It's very small and points directly down at the speedbump, giving no advance warning.
