Mike, Cath, Payton & Cade visit our Mission

Beloit, Wisconsin water tower on our way to pick up the Bowrings. Mike came with Juab High school to investigate a class schedule program that Juab is interested in for the coming year.

When we received our mission call, Mike told us they had a conference in Wisconsin in November. As plans began to be finalized, Mike and Cath decided to surprise the boys and bring them to the conference and then on up to visit our mission for Thanksgiving. A great treat for us!!

Beloit High School.....enrollment 1900 students!

We got special permission from President Jones to drive down to Beloit (which happens to be out of our mission boundary) to meet the family here and take them back up to Stevens Point, about 200 miles.

They even have a fishing class!

CHEESEHEADS....True Packer fans for the day!

GO--PACK--GO!!

Second day...we headed to Green Bay to tour the Packer stadium. The Green Bay Packer franchise is the only professional sport that is owned by stock holders. Green Bay fans are very loyal and proud of their Packers. It was fun to feel of their pride and enthusiasm for their team.

RUDOLPH GROTTO

In 1912 the first idea for these gardens was formed by Father Wagner, while in Europe studying to be a priest. In 1917 he came to Rudolph, Wisconsin to be the pastor of the church. The congregation build a new church and as the church was being built Father Wagner drew up plans for the garens.

"Set in a beautiful area of trees and flowers with man-made rock surroundings, the gardens and shrines provide a spiritual settig where one can spend quiet moments conteplating the wonders of God and creation."

The last project was finished in 1983.
