Saturday Service

Today we had a great service day. Yesterday I stopped by a somewhat of a study's house and left the WT. Later that day I saw her and she thanked me and told me that she would love it if I came by and went over another section of the book. I didn't even have to prompt the suggestion! I had stopped going because she didn't make an effort to be regular so I only went when I had the chance. It was really nice that she decided to have it. We had a wonderful study. She was so excited about what she learned.

I also went to Sherry. ( Mom Mom went on this one) She didn't admit to learning anything and it is still a front door study however, she said that eventually she would learn something new and to keep coming by. That made me feel great!

Clancy went out with Barbara our congregation country ma. They placed 20 sets of magazines today.

Who knows what Todd and Collin did. It couldn't have been as exciting as Clancy and mine because I cannot remember

We put the porch door on today!!!!!!! It looks like Kara will come out and stay for awhile.

a busy week

It is CO week and we are out in service every day. When we came home yesterday it was freezing in our house. The bed sheets were so cold that if you moved you had to wait to get warm again. It was 43 degrees in my bedroom. urrrghhh. Today when I got home from service guess what I did? I started chinking the logs and had Clancy start a fire. It is 61 degrees in our house tonight even though the windows have gaps and the porch door is off. Cool, huh? These logs are more and more impressive to me.

My sinus infection came back exactally when I stopped taking the antibiotic ( yes I finished the right amount) it was just not strong enough. I got a new one to try.

We learned new stuff from the CO. Stuff like the KJ version was written by 47 scholars and only used 8 manuscripts because that was all there was at the time. The NWT uses over 5000 manuscripts because that is what has been found to our day and therefore more accurate. Also one of the first pictures taken of one of the manuscripts was a Gilliead couple. This made an uproar with other religions since they felt they were entitled to that picture.

Just another picture

Ohio State Park, Hocking Ohio

We went camping in the most beautiful spot this weekend. Just a quick getaway. The natural formations of the sandstone was spectacular. Some were 10 stories tall and cut away at the bottom like an open cave. We took two 3 mile hikes and loved every minute. We would definately go there again.

A yucky day

Yesterday I was soooo sick. I had had some allergy issues before I decided to clean out a basement in a rental. These people had a flood and never cleaned the clothes off the basement floor. They had mildewed to the point that they fell apart into a gloopy mess. I cleaned four contractor bags full of mildewed clothes. Right after that I mowed a lot that had gone to seed. All of that great allergy upsetting content landed me with a rip roaring sinus headache. It was so bad that I couldn't even sleep. To top it all off I have a stomache flu. What goes in comes out immediately. All together the lack of food to sop up the drainage left me not so good.

I waited until 11:00 and then decided that I had to go and get some other relief that mucenix D. Now I have antibotics and steroids for the next 10 days. I had a day of sleep and now I feel good.

motorcycling

Sunday we had a motorcycle ride. A few brothers from Bethel came down to play. All together there were 11 of us. 3 bikes and 5 four wheelers. The trails were great not too easy not too hard. We rode for about an hour or two. The first run then everyone but myself and Penny stayed behind to prepare a meal. Everyone else rode until dark.

Somehow those guys found every single mud hole to be had. They were covered from head to toe in soppy mud. The last run was in the dark. Aparently they found a neat spot to stop and look at the stars.

A few of the brothers just got back from visiting Caracas. The Bethel home was in need of a few extra hands. It is really nice to hear stories of others doing good things with their life. They are a happy bunch.
