(Click on the pictures for enlargement)


Here are pictures from our trip (Kallista, my four year old and me) to Laos as we visited our
American Baptist Missionaries, Matt & Lori Mann. Matt & Lori Mann also have three
children Leanne, Joshua, and Matthew

Kallista riding an elephant with Leanne Mann, the eldest Mann child.

This photo shows the many children around Kallista, they loved being with here as she had blonde hair, blue eyes, and fair skin. Kallista drew a crowd everywhere she went. No exaggeration, she stopped traffic and the masses flocked to her.

Men's prayer group held every Wed. morning at 6:30am. the group can be a large as 9 but usually about 6.

Matt's Office Team for "World Concern" you can see Kallista on Lori's lap. World Concern is the organization Matt works for as an American Baptist. Laos is a communist country therefore, no "missionaries" are allowed to be there.
