HI everyone, Well, we had a great trip back to Michigan to see our family. We did end up in a garage with an alternator going out on us. But once again God was right there directing...... We had stopped in Walcott, Iowa for gas - that has been a usual stop for YEARS. Anyway, when Gary started the car again - it made a horrible whining noise. So we went over to the truck service area (This is Iowa's biggest truck stop)......but they, of course, only worked on trucks. But they wrote down a phone number and directed us one mile away. We drove in - the owner came out - took a listen and a look -- and said "we'll be with you in a minute". And so once again we were blessed in our breakdown!!!!
We had our Thanksgiving dinner on Friday evening in Holly and Dennis' totally remodeled barn. My mom said it was perfect......lots of room...good lighting....warm furnace.....and no steps for her in the wheelchair. Mom really looked good and enjoyed herself.
On Sunday morning we gave an update to our Overisel Reformed church family and then at about 12:00 noon we headed back for South Dakota.....and had a good trip --- no delays!!!
However,..........and here is the prayer request. On Monday evening my sister Linda called to say that they had taken my mom to the hospital. I don't remember if I put anything on this "blog" about my mom's one leg and the "wounds" she has (sores that came from excess water and then splits in her skin as the water leached out)......but I think I did. Anyway - now it is her other leg ---- red and sore to the touch. The doctors are hopeful that they got to it in time and that antibiotics will protect her from getting the open sores like she still has on the other leg.
So if you could lift up my mother in prayer --- we would appreciate it!!
-------------------------------
On another note....... We have had a long and good conversation with Rick in Thailand....the floods are receding and he has moved from the little island - back to the University (he is not in his apartment yet).....but staying on campus. He said he couldn't work any longer without internet. He has really appreciated the "extended vacation" (school was delayed due to the flooding) because he has had more time to prepare for his classes which will begin (I think) on December 19 or there about.
-------------------
Oh YEAH!!!!! We came back with the good ole' usual Michigan cold - so we are both sniffling and blowing and vicking and all that disgusting stuff. Wish we could figure that one out!!!! It's a never fail thing.........
Take care and more later.............
Gary and Barb
