Apologies

I have honestly tried and have seemingly wasted precious time attempting to take photos from one place on the computer to this blog page. I guess the time is not really wasted if I remember the 101 things that do not work! It has to be so simple that I am missing it by a small function.

Anyway, I'll update you on the week. Saturday we picked up two tables, a desk, some chairs, and other furniture. We got home before 5 pm and Ken got busy setting everything up. It is so nice to sit at a real table to eat together! We headed to Oberlin, Ohio for our Sunday morning meeting. The folks were so sweet and almost as soon as Natalie and I walked in the door Fran whisked us off to the missionary cupboard where we could stock up on some of our supplies. We enjoyed a nice meal after the service and got to get better acquainted with the people.

Sunday evening my parents, Becky, my sister, and her little one, Alex came. We enjoyed some homemade pizza together and talked about the projects that needed done. Monday morning after the kids headed to school my dad and Ken got to work replacing light switches, outlets, and other old wiring. They also worked on making sure the furnace was clean and ready for winter. I so appreciate the hard work they did while they were here. It was just a bonus added on to getting to see them.

Tuesday morning they wrapped up a few projects and headed to Tennessee. We got busy getting ready for the next round of visitors. George, Crissy, and Steven Boyer came on their way to a quartet convention in Tennessee. We loved spending time with them and appreciated their taking us out to eat at Yours Truly.

Wednesday morning the Boyers headed out and we began getting ready for the next round of visitors! Ken painted the boy's room and I did laundry and some shopping for the house. I found some good deals on rugs, towels, and curtains. By early evening the Lepley's from central Pennsylvania arrived. They were tired from their trip but in good spirits. Larry, Tony, and Theresa came for a second opinion at the Cleveland Clinic. Larry has some serious health issues and is hoping the Clinic can help. Ken took them over there this morning and helped them navigate the parking and maze of buildings to get to his appointments.

We are so thankful for all of the wonderful help, gifts of furniture and supplies, and opportunities to minister that have come our way. We head to Cedarville tomorrow afternoon to prepare for a charity bike ride that Ken is helping and for a farewell to our friends in Cedarville.

God's grace has truly been sufficient for these last few weeks and we are confident that it will continue to be.
