Our congregation is VERY happy......we have a pastor who WANTS to come to serve in Lakeview even after spending a very gloomy, dreary, rainy weekend with horrible roads. We are excited to say the least. It was a struggle for them (they had two calls ) but they truly feel that God is calling them to this place.
So we have all been busy ever since we received the news. The parsonage is in GREAT need. Total paint job on the inside.....new kitchen countertop, new light fixtures, new carpet, new front door..... They will be picking the colors for the kids bedrooms and the kitchen....the rest they are trusting to our "good" judgement. We have until the week of July 13 --- GET 'R DONE!!!!
Everything is green, green,.......we have gotten lots of rain. Our garden was drowned out while we were gone to Michigan, but we have replanted and everything is up. We ate some carrots out of the greenhouse yesterday. Yes...they were small - but very tasty. Tomorrow some of us will put in a garden for our new Pastor and family. Everyone has a little something left over -- buying what we don't have. One gal will bring fencing materials......way too many bunnies on the yard not to fence it in.
We have been enjoying our grandson, Colton, for the past week and a half. Saturday we will drive to Des Moines to switch with his brother Brennan. Colton is a bit upset because we are saving some things for Brennan ....... Colton has come about 5 times now.....this will be Brennan's first.
Today is rainy -- 2/10 of an inch....a very nice rain. So it makes for a good day to bake some buns. Better get busy.
We would appreciate prayers for our new Pastor and family..... Mark and Dawn Langenbach and their children Michaela (10) and Evan (7).
Gary and Barb
