Tom and Janine Throssel
January 14, 2008
Just before we left the SAM guesthouse to go to the airport for our trip home, we recruited another missionary to take one final picture of us with Tom and Janine Throssel. We met them in the mid-90s when they attended the church in Oak Park during their student years at Moody Bible Institute. Tom and Janine helped out in the youth ministry, and Tom remembers our son Mark and also Brian Claus. After graduation Tom was trained as an airplane mechanic. He keeps the two SAM airplanes in good flying condition. We received the invitation to come to Bolivia because Janine gave my name to the mission headquarters. It was good to see them again.
By the way, that’s Sandy at the bottom of the photo. She’s supposed to be the guard dog at the guesthouse but she’s too friendly to scare a burglar.
