Thanksgiving with the Bollards




We were very blessed to have the entire family with us for Thanksgiving. Sam was on leave for the day from Vandenberg Air Force Base where he is currently stationed. Bill was in the middle of a thoughtful, lengthy prayer of Thanksgiving when someone noticed that our oven was on fire. The yams had ignited. The prayer was cut short and the fire was extinguished without permanent damage. Afterward, we loosened our belts and recovered from massive amounts of caloric intake. We are grateful for so many wonderful blessings, including the blessing of living in this country of freedom.

Pres. Bollard (sorry, but it's hard to call you anything else),

I was scanning in old Mission pictures and came across some gems of you and your boys. Shoot me an email and I'll send them to you.

Your boys have grown up and done well. So good to see pictures of them here on your blog.

My best to you, your wife and Ben, Sam & Joe - great memories from spending long hours together on that Mission tour.

Best,
Aaron
