Thanksgiving and Seminar

The past few weeks have been very full again, mainly because of the marriage seminar and arrival of several new people this past week. Bill Thomas and Linda Berg came to speak and sing, respectively, at the seminar for the church. Not as many came as had been hoped, but quite a few did and it seemed to be good for people. It was great to have people back in the apartment again, too!

Besides the arrival of Bill and Linda, Thelma Stephens also arrived. Thelma is a retired nurse who is going to be living upstairs with me and helping out around here and in the clinic. She runs a Bed&Breakfast in Canada during the summers. She seems like she will be great to have around and very huggy, which is nice for me.

Thanksgiving was interesting to have away from home, since no one else here was celebrating American Thanksgiving, but I finished most of my update letter then and had an otherwise normal day of work. It was a little lonely since I knew I wasn't with family, but I still got to talk to family, so that helped.

In other news, we've decided we need to work on giving the dog away here because logistically it's going to be very difficult, and financially a problem for myself and my parents. So, though I've gotten very attached to the puppy, I will probably be better off this way.

Prayer requests:
A place for the dog
Continued health
Working on the church website--that we will be quick and get it DONE
