The weeks are starting to just fly. It seems like two days go by then it is Mon. again! This is the day we take our P-Day. The rest of the week is very busy, we even have appointments on Mon. after 4:00.
The Branch has been in a little query this week. Pres. Burno has been in the hospital for a week now, and yesterday they took him into surgery to operate on his leg. That is where the infection is coming from and they thought maybe the bone was infected. It turns out that wasn't the problem. We called him today and he is pretty miserable. He has blood poison coming from somewhere, hope they soon get to the bottom of it.
Dad is playing Branch Pres. He is twice as busy as before, if possible. Everyone is wanting their welfare money, the sister that got out of prison is driving her mom crazy, and Tammy, my good friend and hair dresser had a heart attack down at her sisters funeral last Fri. She is in pretty bad health, she is home now and resting. They called today and said she has no money to buy her medicine. Seems like everyone back here is falling apart!
We have Wed. set up to see if the branch will start on the Burno's yard and house. Sister Burno is such a pack rat that we need about 30 people to go in there and help out. All those on welfare should come and put in a lot of hours, but then too they are all sick too! We are not complaining, just get frustrated because nothing seems to improve.
Sounds like all the graduations went smooth. We are so proud of the grand kids. We can't believe Harrison and Morgan are now on their way to bigger things! Thanks for sending us pictures, announcements and phone calls so we could be involved too. Good luck on getting Harrison ready, know you have so much to do in so little time. We will be thinking of you as you take him to the temple. This is when we wish we were home, but this is where we are suppose to be, and we truly are happy and content!
We have two baptisms this Sun. One little gal came out and was on her lawn and called the missionaries over, she has been receiving the lessons about a month now and getting baptized on Sun. She is a beautiful girl. She is from Costa Rica. Her husband is uninterested and has two little boys, 7- 4, which she said she is doing it for them. She makes the 7 year old sit through all the lessons and answer as many of the questions as he can. The other one is another lady, remember we have no husbands out here!
Maybe you knew but we've had skunks living under our porch at home. We called Ray Kunzes and he got the mother into the window well and shot her. Then by this morning they have 5 more little ones. I didn't dare ask how he got them. He said one of them went into Freiss' window well, it was one of the babies but Freiss' are in Lake Powell for the week. When we talked to Ray again he said the entire neighborhood was having an infestation. Hope the kids in the house or Ray will fill up the holes under the porch, or we will have another mess.
We have our three latest converts talking Sun. They are all pretty scared. Lynda can talk your leg off at her home so we are anxious to see what happens in church. The one we haven't asked yet. She hasn't been out to church the last two Sunday’s. We visit her during the week and says she can't get up by 10:00. She is a night owl. The others elders used to call her by 9 in the morning, but these new elders don't. I'm going to see if Dad thinks I should do that job! I know the two elders that baptized her would be so disappointed, she really loved them, and maybe that is why she isn't coming!
Next Mon. we want to go to Lancaster Pa. The Halls want to see some Amish when the get out here and that is supposed to be a good area. There is their kind of life you can visit, stores and a place to eat. Hope it works out.
Have fun with the kids this summer. We miss them all so much. It will be especially hard on Brandon being the only kid at home now! We send all our love and keep you all in our prayers daily.
