Mel: Hello! Sure appreciate your prayers (everyone who's reading this who's prayed for us). I think we're close to a miracle... Should know in a couple weeks... We hope. The bank says I better!

We've started a program in our ward where we choose 1 family and serve them throughout the year. We've chosen two families. One is a part member family that isn't active. The husband (not a member is a great guy). We home teach them but we're not supposed to teach about the church so this week we shoveled manure. Wayne and Shad were thrilled. They were actually pretty good workers. We took a little while getting warmed up but then it was flying everywhere. We inhaled a lot of manure dust and coughed a bit the rest of the day. Allergies were flowing like honey. We got a slurpee treat after!

We had our ward barbeque party this week and the turnout was about 260 people. Good food and good times. I met a great non-member who is an aerospace navigation consultant. I hope we can use him on this upcoming miracle. He would be a great person to help us make things safe.

I had my monthly photoclub meeting on Wednesday. I didn't win the best photo, but I didn't deserve it as there was an incredible picture that beat me. I posted the water fall from the "water theme".

Keep up the great work out there! We love you tons!
