Fun and Fellowship with the Baltic and Poland Teams (including members of the Apostolic Youth Corps)

The Millers opened their home to "all" of us; Shasta is a wonderful
hostess!  Everyone enjoyed a time of fellowship and "bonding."  Having a "home
country" in common immediately sets the stage for great friendships to be born!
We had a baby shower for Ingunn Turner—Sis. Shutes is folding clothes,
bouncing the “baby,” and talking on the phone!
