Our time with the Nepal family



We were so blessed by a visit from cousin Jyoti and her husband, Rajendra and family. This was the first visit to the U.S. for Rajendra and the children. They have been missionaries for many, many, years and have such a heart for lost souls. We had such a wonderful time while they were here, getting to spend quality time with them. What a blessing it was!!


Rajendra Sharing God's Word at Church


(Jyoti is translating)



The men being Bereans




Child Prodigy:)



Sharing their testimony


Uncle Tom took us all to the Animal Kingdom Lodge

Sweet cousins

The only snake you'll ever see around Mrs. Stokesies neck!!






Enjoying our treats while watching the Disney fireworks show

Mmm mmm Good

Awwww :)

Sleeping soundly at Grand Floridian (Beach) :)


Jyoti teaching the girls a new song in Nepalise and English

At Grannys for a big breakfast.

James and Preshunsa doing laundry JOYFULLY



They had the best time together.

Preshunsa called James her "husband".

Forget Toys-R-Us, it's dirt and plastic spoons for them.

Sewing Day


Time to go find a "secluded" island so we can enjoy ourselves.


Time to load up for an adventure, I'm sure!

We found a beach about 10 miles out into the Gulf of Mexico.

We had the island all to ourselves.

When the tide went out, it made a huge sand bar with water in between,

which was perfect for the littles (and the bigs).

This was our view

Jordan and Rajendra

Time for a little "wave hopping"

All we need now is the boat.

Mrs. Stokes in the snow, I mean sand :P


Ben in "paradise". He LOVES the ocean!!


Heading to shore


"I've had a fantastical, stupendous, marvelous day!!

Nothing like seeing the sunset on the ocean.

Good night and God Bless

Your snow is quite different from ours. You can't go barefoot in it as comfortably and we sure don't go swimming in the ice! Instead we "walk on water". We would love to share our fall and winter with you. C'mon up!!

Please say hello to the Nepals for us, and that we are praying for them!

God bless!

It would be a little hard to go boating and tubing in your pond, Brocketts! But I suppose we could try. =)

Ha, ha, ha. That is funny, Abby. Actually, what you all need to do is come down here and we can all go to the island, how's that sound?

Don't be surprised if we show up for your fall or winter. You just never know what we might do.

Miss all of you,
The Pollocks
