Propelling Forward... Sooner or Later

Propelling Forward, Sooner Or Later, and Homeward Bound

Some missionary before us built this awesome plane which turns as the wind blows.  Today (Sunday the 25th), a storm blew in and it took flight and ended up on the ground, about 50 feet from where it was.  On it was scratched the expressing written above.  I don't know who the missionary was, but I believe he spent a lot of time crafting this plane before going home.  "Sooner or Later" refers to the name of this ranch (The Sooner Ranch).  

Expressions like this and others are written all around here.  A dear friend sent me a sweet reminder today and the words inspired me:  

“I will go before your face. I will be on your right hand and on your left, and my Spirit shall be in your hearts, and mine angels round about you, to bear you up.”

"P" day.  

On Saturday we went into Owassa and then on into Tulsa.  In Owassa, they had painted the coolest wall across from the farmers market.  It looked like a western set but was dimensional.  I bought a huge cantaloupe there.

MissionaryBirthday Parties.  We had a party for Elder De Los Reyes this week and the new missionary.  Elder and Sister Massey prepared deep fried Halibut from Alaska.  It was to die for!  

Elder Himle has been working so hard each day, repairing a barn just outside of Pawhuska.  The heat index is pretty bad right now, so I am sending him off earlier each day, so they can get a few things done before it gets any hotter.  He is working near the roof, which is metal and gets pretty hot.  He is good about it and doesn't complain.  

I've had a lot of impressions this week about 1) By small and simple things, great things are brought to pass and 2) That Christ ministered one person at a time and the importance of doing this. I am planning to offer to help others learn how to do FamilySearch... one person at a time.  So tomorrow I will go to the lumber yard and ask Mrs. Benson (who wants to learn this) and offer my services.  We will also have a RS meeting in the morning and try to teach and strengthen others in the area.  Some are so lonely, and suffered during covid with loneliness.
