Laos trip

I went to Laos last week on a business trip. I met some of my former students from Laos. I gave them IT training while I was working for Digital Divide Data in Vientiane.

Old pictures from the US

I found my old pictures of my mission trip to Shiprock, New Mexico. I took the trip while I was in the States. We stayed at a Navajo Indian church and here are some pictures.
