Friday was a very good day. We met with our group in Rosebud....had the Bible Lesson on Saul and then :) :) had 3 girls pray to accept Christ. Please keep Dominique, Alijah and Charlee in your prayers.
At 11:30 we headed for Valentine to go swimming at the City Pool. It's a real nice, large pool. We had free time from 1:00 until 3:30. Then the kids had a snack and we hit the road with the vans and big bus. We were to take Lane home......... but Lane (a second grader) couldn't find his clothes bag and he was somewhat upset. We all decided (after looking all over) that someone had accidentally taken his bag. So when we got to his home I went to the door to explain to mom what had happened...... we sure didn't want Lane to get into trouble. "That's all right", mom said. Another girl said "you can take us home last, Barb, we aren't in any hurry."
It was an exhausting week......but a very rewarding week.
Our helpers, Ross and Jessica, and our grandson, Colton, left that night at about midnight. Colton had been with us for 2 weeks and we hated to see him go. He was an "easy keeper"!!!! Such an agreeable little 9 year old. He had come with "I want to ride the horse again"......and he really did good. His first time was with Grandma walking right beside him.......the last night he rode, he could get on and off without any help (no one even holding his horse still) and he would go out of our sight and was comfortable with it. He had a good horse.....Buck is a good ranch horse ---- Rob uses her to rope calves at brandings........ but just a good horse that you can trust with a kid. I like them kind.
Sue Pfnister left on Saturday morning. We went from "very busy" - to "no one around". They both had their good points. We miss "the crew" --- but it's good to get back to normal. Today I canned beans, dill pickles and also made a batch of Refrigerator pickles. Tomorrow I will be canning some of our carrots. We pullled one tonight that measured 21 inches long!!!! It wasn't the fattest carrot.....but we were amazed that we could pull it up and not break it off. The carrots were in our greenhouse. It's getting too late and I'm not ready with my pictures......maybe another time.
Just wanted to share about the girls accepting Christ.....please pray for them that their faith can continue to grow.
Goodnight and Thanks!!!! Gary and Barb
