Sunday!

Well, how time flies. Junior has feverishly been putting in applications, and so far only has had one call. It looks like he will be getting a 3rd shift seasonal job at Walmart, but since the turn over is quite high there, it might work into something more than seasonal. He also can get unemployment if he doesn't work at Walmart. Either way the money is low, but it is much easier to stretch some money than none at all. It is hard not having any income at the moment. I don't know how we will ever get out of this financial valley we are in, but God knows! It is hard to catch up when you get behind, with the economy the way it is. But one great thing is that gas has really come down! Praise the Lord for that! Now if groceries would come down, that would be even better!

Missie went roller skating on Friday with her school for PE and has been in a lot of pain since. Every time she does something like this she suffers days afterwards! We do have a family dr. for the children and as soon as the children are in their computer, we will go there and Dr. Wright will help us find the specialists we need for both of the children. Missie wants to get help so bad, so she can live a more normal life. The prescription pain meds. hardly do a thing for her now, concerning the pain.

Last Sat. p.m. we had a GBS rally and we kept 2 of the girls here for the night, from the choir. One was Katie Kaufman: Jr. and I both went to Bible school with her parents. And we also kept Aleena Smith. They were both very sweet girls. Missie enjoyed it so much. Tonight we have UBC quartet and the youth are getting together after church at the school for a meal and fun time. Missie is excited about that.

Our pastor's parents celebrated 75 years of marriage yesterday! Isn't that wonderful? Preston loves the older Bro. Mowery and loves to hear him testify! He will be 95 this month. He also loves our pastor Bro. Mowery. He takes time to sit down and visit with Preston at the back of the church. After the service on Sunday nights, Preston likes to sit down on the bench at the back and visit with people who come by. I have seen Bro. Mowery sit down there and visit with Preston. Preston loves our church and the people; everyone has been so good to him!

It has been snowing here this afternoon, and it looked so pretty falling! We still get excited when we see snow as it was very rare to see it in SC.

Missie and I are in the contata for Christmas so we have practice every Sunday p.m. at 5. So Jr. takes us and comes back and gets Preston ready then they come.

So that is the latest. Should have more news this coming week, concerning a job. I have been praying something would work out so Jr. doesn't have to work 3rd shift. A day time job would be better for him. But he has to has some job, so at this point has to take what he can get, even though the pay is soooo low, only 1/2 of what he made in SC and $5/hr. less than what he made at Laminque. Oh, the guy from Laminque came by and visited and wants to hire Jr. back if they can get some jobs in that they have bids out on. But so far none have come in. A lot of places are slow right now.

Until next time!
