Our Adventure

Joel ordered a boat for us to use for ministry (& a little fun) when we are out at PQQ.  That was the EASY part!  Getting the boat into the river was the HARD part (although TOTALLY worth it!  & even a little fun…we had LOTS of laughs!)

Joel came back to help us (his family) carry our bags to the other boat...we were on our way to PQQ for the weekend. Yep! That's how deep the mud got.
