Who Am I?

I am a follower of Jesus Christ.

I am the husband of an amazing woman, and father of 3 beautiful girls. 

I am an evangelical Christian missionary in Bolivia, South America.

I am a Tinker.

I am a Carpenter.

I dabble in Metalworking and Mechanics.

I teach language and culture acquisition skills to missionary trainees from Bolivia and surrounding countries.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so maybe these will explain the rest!

I love to take photos of what God created:

 Replacing a leaky fuel line on my 4Runner in Montana:

Cochabamba sunset:

My 30th birthday cake.  I asked Kaylee for a blue Land Cruiser, and that's what I got:

 Translating (on the fly) Sandra Boynton's "Moo, Baa, La La La" into Spanish, at my birthday party:

 Mount Tunari as seen from my office (with a 300mm telephoto) in Cochabamba:


 My dad was here for a few months and made bunks for the girls.  I helped him finish, and assembled them at the house:


 One of the best blessings about life in Bolivia?  Good cow meat is relatively cheap (and charcoal is the way to go):

 Replacing some suspension parts on the 4Runner (while in Missouri):

 Cristo de la Concordia in Cochabamba, the tallest statue of Jesus in the world:


 

 An old mission in our neighborhood:
