Our family reunion was held today at the home of Randy and Lesa near St. Joseph, Illinois. We had a great time visiting with our extended family and checking out Randy and Lesa's beatiful new property. They have over sixty acres of trees, lakes, and farm acreage adjoining a river. Next year, we'll return to Elwood Indiana for our reunion.
Pictured are second generation descendants of our Great-grandparents Andrew and Jane that came to America from Ireland in 1872/1873.
They are Leah, Jo Ann, Shirley, Larry and me.

We met tonight with our missionaries to Russia. They shared stories about the mission there and what it was like living in Moscow- a city of about 20 million people. They asked for prayer regarding the upcoming year, which could be their last in Russia. Their son will be a Senior at the Christian Academy in Moscow. Their daughter married this year and she and her husband are attending a Christian University in Huntington, Indiana.

From our church web-site:

He handles legal, financial, and logistical issues for the missionaries and Blagovest Church Association. Brian also serves the local church in leading worship.

The Kesslers have two children, Amber (20) who is a sophomore at Huntington University, in Hunington, Indiana. Son Dustin (15) is a high school junior in Moscow.
