Scott is a Controls Algorithm Engineer for Trane. Scott practices kendo weekly, and sings in the church choir.

Roxanne is a Homemaker. Working at home full-time is quite challenging and raising Aaron and Rebekah always makes life interesting and full of joy. Roxanne enjoys genealogy, kendo, and reading. She has made many prayer shawls at church, and crocheting while watching TV is common. Roxanne is the Area Coordinator for Compassion International in western Wisconsin.

Aaron is a typical boy. He likes Pokemon, Bionicles, and computer/GameCube games. During this past year, he participated in swimming lessons, as well as week-long bible camp. He is in fifth grade at Coulee Christian School in a multi-age (5th and 6th grade together) classroom, and is doing great! He has many friends from school, church, and in the neighborhood.

Rebekah is growing quickly! She is in kindergarten at the Onalaska Kindergarten Center at Eagle Bluff Elementary. Rebekah loves to sing. She also enjoys reading, puzzles, Dora the Explorer, Pokemon, and Webkinz.

We are members at Bethany Evangelical Free Church in La Crosse. Roxanne is on the Missions Board, plays saxophone once a month, and volunteers with the AWANA clubs on Wednesday night. Scott sings and runs the sound board for the worship team. Aaron and Rebekah participate in Sunday school, Vacation Bible School during the summers, and AWANA on Wednesdays.

Scott and Roxanne are volunteers with Compassion International, a child-sponsorship organization. This past year, we helped with events in Oshkosh, WI, Platteville, WI, and Tomah, WI. We have so much fun! We are sponsoring three children through this organization ourselves. Septi is from Indonesia, Juan is from Guatemala, and Rebecca is from Uganda. This has been a wonderful reminder to ourselves to be grateful for the blessings that God has given us, and to share those blessings with others. Would you please consider sponsoring a child, too? There are children waiting to be sponsored on Compassion International's website, and if you have any questions, we'd be happy to try to answer them.
