Getting Closer

As you can see we are making progress in the kitchen. The cabinet doors should be here on Saturday and we still have to decide on the counter tops. John, son-in-law, will be completing the painting next week.

The pocket door to the laundry room has to be sanded and painted we will not be putting the trim up until we can replace the windows. PTL this project has been done without creating any debt - Whew!!! God is so good.

Jake with Gpa and Gma!

This was taken the morning that Jake left for basic training. He was excited yet a little nervous.

We sure love this first born grandchild!

This is the before picture of the kitchen and the other is the paint color we have chosen. I am ready for this to be done. Our wonderful son-in-law has been doing the work - he is such a blessing!

JW and Loreen Johnson

JW Johnson and his wife Loreen, were with us over the weekend. He preached all the services on Sunday at Bible Baptist Temple in St. Joseph. We spent quite a bit of time together and really enjoyed the fellowship which we really needed. Loreen gave her testimony Monday night at our ladies Heart N Home meeting. She is such a blessing to my heart. Safe travels!
I think people who never have missionaries, pastor or other full time Christian workers in there home or spend time with them are missing a huge blessing. You make friends for a lifetime!

Racine Wisconsin

My trip to Racine Wisconsin with my friend Janette was such a great blessing. Janette got to see some her family and I got to see some long time friends. Janette's brother rented us a great car and the ride gave us time to really enjoy fellowship. We also got to eat at the Iowa Machine Shed on several occasions. We were gone from Monday to Friday and traveled 1465 miles.

What wonderful fellowship we had with the Rettigs. They are headed back to Larimore ND be there a week or so and then back to the Czech Republic. They are truly servants of God.

Had a busy day today. Jon and Emilie Rettig, missionaries to the Czech Republic are coming by and spending the night on Sunday. We are so excited they are great friends and we have known them for MANY years. We spent 2 1/2 months in CR while they were on furlough in 2007 watching over their ministry. What a joy and a blessing that was.
