Gary - being on the Council now --- had to go to the Classis meeting on Tuesday - along with another Elder - Don S. We were also asked to give an update on the ministry out here....so I (Barb) went along too. Robbi, Gary and I gave a short presentation and we felt it went well. We were invited to stay with Robbi and Jerry --- so we had a nice visit with them and we also had supper with Aunt Melva. It was great to see her again. Her mind is still sharp and witty.
Our trip back was not in the best conditions. The snow had been drifting across the highway and it was very slippery. Don kept telling Gary that "west river" will be better. And sure enough - about 5 miles before we reached the Missouri the roads cleared and it was clear sailing all the rest of the way home. For those of you who don't understand the lingo ----- The Missouri is a dividing line...... you are either "west river" or "east river". :) :) west is best :)
We have been making headway with the church basement.
I can't ever get the pictures in the order I want ---- I get them right and then something happens. Anyway, below is a "before" picture of the nursery - and above is Gary and Matthew hard at work. The lighting wasn't the best for photo taking but you get the idea. Gary and Dakota finished the big part of the ceiling (would you believe we stayed straight the whole way across the room!!!! - now that in itself was an accomplishment!!!!) and now we will probably move to the Library Room. And then come back to finish enclosing the furnace duct work. 
Today we will again have Religion Release Time with the 5-6 and 7-8th Graders. There will be one more lesson on Elisha and then we will move on to "The Life of Christ".
It's a beautiful sunny day but still cold!!! March has come in very cold -- so maybe it will go out very warm......we hope!
Stay warm -
Gary and Barb
