Testimonies, Re-finishes, Barns and 4.65" of rain

Dino

The sister missionaries asked us if we would participate in teaching an investigator who lives in Pawhuska.  We excitedly accepted and dropped by to  meet him.  He was so warm and we were not only were we excited,  we felt great joy!!  That giddy excitement stayed with us through conversations. throughout the week as we answered his questions and were reminded of things most precious.

Billy

This is his Billy Goat (named  Billy)!  And yes, his name is Billy! And yes, he is on top of their car!

Plane Windmill

During a gusty storm, our plane took flight and crashed.  Below, Elder Himle is lifting Elder Johnson in the tractor bucket to restore the plane to its rightful place.

Awww.  That's better

After working our  shift at Christ's Cupboard, we just had to stop by the Mercantile and get ourselves one of those light, delicious pastries.  They are the BEST!  Almond chocolate for me.  Strawberry for Sister Johnson!

This is the leg of the desk in our apartment (which obviously survived a flood).    I have looked at that and the other legs for months now and decided it was time to go to work.  I sanded, stained and lacquered.  So much prettier.  The dilemma is that there are two desks.  Do. I have the energy to do the other one?

After Wes finished the front porch, the posts suddenly stood our like a sore thumb.  So I got busy and cleaned it up! 

The Storm

Oh,  did  we get a storm this week!  The likes of which I'll probably never see again!  Tornado warnings,  hail ranging from 2.5 inches to baseball, high winds, and 4.65' inches of rain overnight.  I woke at 1:30a.m. and it sounded like someone was standing outside side my  bedroom window blasting my window with a high powered  nozzle.   As Wes slept peacefully, I looked out the windows, as the sky lit up over and over again like a flashbulb.  Were there tornados out there?  I prayed for protection and our prayers were answered.

Reminder

We have already experienced the first picture more than once.   We hope that we don't experience the second.

The Barn

After the storm, I understood the reason for so many holes in the barn roofs!   Here is the one the Elders are working on now.

That roof is WAY up there!!  Staying away from the metal flapping in the breeze is half the battle!

God placed this gift just for me!

New Missionaries

We  got new missionaries a few days ago!  The Taylors from Far West.  They are wonderful and we are excited as we get to know them and feel like we have known them for a long time.  In a few weeks the Massey's are leaving.
