Hello everyone!

Well, it's been 10 days since I updated! So here goes!

Missie is gone to Friends Youth Camp in Munsey, IN. She was so excited. One of her friends spent Sunday night with us and they left on Monday. Our teen pastor drove one of the church's big vans to take the youth, and his wife had to drive their mini van to take their luggage, they had so much! Anyhow, she is gone. Have only heard from her once so far. I am so glad she has the privilege of going to youth camps! I grew up in Canada and we had VBS at campmeetings, but I have never had the privilege of going to a youth camp.

Junior was off for a few days, then got called back. He is back working in the warehouse. He is currently working 10 hr. days, 6 days/week. We are thankful for every day he gets work. Also, SC unemployment ruled he can still draw unemployment even though he refused to work on Sunday, due to his religious beliefs and the fact he didn't know when he started that they would ask him to work on Sunday. Thank the Lord for that! So he still has some unemployment he can draw if he gets out of work again. You never know when you work for a temp. agency how long your job will last.

Preston is still Preston! His side is better; we never heard a word from the gallbladder test, and he is doing better with taking gas x in a.m. so we are just leaving it for now. I didn't want him to have to have surgery unless it was completely necessary because of him being so high risk of infection and the shunt.
He is doing so well; very happy and relaxed for the most part. He loves riding his bike, and this is the perfect place to ride; the alley beside our house. He loves going to church on Sunday night and talking with everyone. He will be 21 on Sat! It is hard to believe! He has matured in many ways. We are proud of our son!


I am doing well; selling lots on the internet; the Lord helped us raise money by selling stuff to send her to the youth camp! God is good. Some gave extra money so she could go. I am so thankful we are in Frankfort, IN. This was a good move; Missie has flourished and is so much happier. The young people here are friendly and the boys talk to the girls; everyone has fun together! This is what she needed. Having her own teen pastor helps her a lot too. Bro. Travis has done so much for her spiritually. He is the reason we are even in IN! His wife Jody is such a blessing and one of the sweetest people I have ever met.

Our pastor has to have hip replacement close to the end of July. He has suffered a lot the past few months. I will be happy for him to not be in so much pain. He doesn't shirk any of his duties, though, let me tell you! He is a very active and caring pastor! We are so blessed.

The devil has really fought us about moving here; but the Lord has never failed us, and we love the school and church, and watching Missie grow in the Lord, and loving her school, etc., is worth every problem. We did it for her and it has paid off. Nothing is more important than our children's souls. She loves being around other youth that is like she is! She is 15 now; very hard to believe.

So that is my update for today!
