Elder Scott Dehner

Our son Scott is serving a mission for our church in Concepcion, Chile. He left August 22, 2007 and will return home in two years. He is really making a difference. Those of you who know him best will enjoy knowing that his fun personality is still intact.



As proof to that, we enjoy these two pictures which show that even though he is involved in a very important work, his fun-loving side still comes through. Isn't it amazing that a young man from Powell, Ohio can influence a young man named
Petricio from Concepcion, Chile.



You can tell from this picture of Petricio's baptism that these two young men have a good connection.

Christmas 2007

2007 was another great Christmas. We were lucky enough to have Great-Grandpa Dehner with us for the holidays. At 92 he is doing so well. He moves a little slower and hears a little worse, but he is still active (so to speak), still drives, and lives by himself in his home of 42 years.

On Christmas Eve everyone came over for dinner and the grandchildren put on a nativity play so we could better understand the true meaning of Christmas. It seems that at least one of the sheperds had some trouble staying with Mary and Joseph. Also, Mary dropped the baby Jesus a time or two - no harm, no foul.

After the "off" Broadway rendition of the Christmas story Shawn gathered all the children into the kitchen so they could decorate some cookies for Santa Claus. Trust me, Santa enjoyed (I mean will enjoy) the cookies.

Pressing The Flesh With Mitt

Kurt, ever the mover and shaker, is shown working the crowd with our next President, Mitt Romney, on his recent stop in Columbus to collect some needed money for his campaign.
