past week

Monday, we heard from some people that seemed very interested in the house, so Laurie spent busy days Mon. and Tues. cleaning and rug doctoring the house, just to be stood up. After calling them, they told us they were closing on another house.

On Wednesday, Laurie and I went out soul wining together. We went to a couples house that have 4 children. She has a testimony, but seems to be confused and desires to be in a good church were she can grow. He has no testimony and had no interest in "religion", but by the time we left, he left me with the impression that he would come to Church on Sunday to hear Kurt Labouve. He had been trying to read the Bible, but seemed confused, so I encouraged him to read from the book of John. He was not interested in me showing him more at that time. I am praying that I will get another opportunity to befriend him more and share the glorious Gospel with him.
His wife looks so much like my sister, Maryann.

Laurie and I were able to spend a lot of Wednesday together going to doctors appointments and grocery shopping (now we are broke again, ha ha). It sure was good to have some time by ourselves; just to get caught up on conversing once and a while.

Thursday we started Bible Institute. Was a little overwhelming, but very good. I think it will be a lot better when our books come in. I was thinking that things would be so busy that we might not even be here to go to the institute, so signed up late. Glad we did!

Most of the plants are dead after Thursday's very hard frost. -JACK FROST NIPPING AT YOUR NOSE. I'm having to start the vehicle in the morning just to get the window warmed up. Thinking Malawi is looking better all the time. I probably better remember this.

Michael went to work with Merv Gilbertson for a couple of days this week. It seemed to please him to make a few bucks. I think it was good to wear him out a bit, and seemed to give him a bit of self worth.
