Pictures from Iraq

My Friend Ken Stenka is currently serving our country in Iraq. A HUGE thank you to all who are serving and Fighting for us! GOD BLESS YOU, We are praying for you!

He emailed us some neat pictures, so I wanted to share them. There are 2 sets of pictures, Here are his emails:
Hello to ALL!

I have been taking a few photos and thought that I might share a few with all that care. If not then delete works nicely also. I thought it may give you some idea of the conditions over here. Then again maybe not as most of them have my ugly mug in them. I haven’t had much luck sending them in the past but I will continue trying. Their not very descriptive but I do what I can and I hope you enjoy them. Thinking of you all and praying that we are home in December. Thanks for all the letters and for staying in touch!

Hello again

After sending pictures the other day, I had the privilege of visiting one of Saddam’s palaces. It’s located just a stone throw away from Baghdad and it was very impressive. I have never seen a bigger chandelier in my life. All the marble must keep the place cool because it was hot out and didn’t notice it inside at all. It is surrounded by water and has several smaller little islands with, what looks to be other living or smaller stone buildings. The guys that are with me are from my company and we got pretty lucky to get in that day. The military does use the facilities but I’m unable to say for what. The whole experience was quite overwhelming and very impressive. I’m sorry the pictures really don’t do it much justice but once again I really just want to share. Have a great week!!

After we got home from the Mindset Mentoring Conference in Dallas(go to my other blog sowinggenerously.blogspot.com to hear about that awesome event) we picked up our children from the Jerrods. We also brought home our new kitten, Squirt! The kids(and mom) have wanted a kitten for a long time, and I finally caved:) A HUGE THANK YOU TO THE GROFFS, WHITNEY'S AND THE JERRODS FOR TAKING CARE OF THE KIDS! We will return the favor!
