Missionary Work

We went out to Minilla to find some members. It was a half hour drive out North of here. It was the first time I have had the equivelant of a door slammed in my face. The man wanted to know what church we were from when Dee told him he turned his back on us and marched away. Would not talk to us. The other members we could not find their homes. The GPS could not find the streets, no address, and the mobil phone does not work out there. Lots of places do not have address but names for their place.

It was a beautiful drive anyway and it rained on the way back.

We woke up Sat night to the sound of horses running over our head. It turned out to be rain and I mean heavy rain on the roof. We have a metal roof and we get all kinds of noises. The weather change makes it contract and expand and the noise is like a ball being thrown on the roof in all different places. It takes some getting use to.

WERRIS CREEK

THIS MORNING WE WENT OUT TO VISIT SOME MEMBERS, NO ONE WAS HOME AS THEY WERE ALL OUT SHOPPING I GUESS AS IT IS THE DAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS. IT WAS RAINING LIKE CRAZY. IN AN HOUR OR TWO IT STOPPED. THE SKYS ARE AWSOME HERE HUGE BLUE AND BIG BIG WHITE CLOUDS ALL OVER.

THIS AFTERNOON WE DROVE OUT TO WERRIS CREEK A 45 MIN DRIVE FROM HERE. IT IS ALL COUNTRY. THE COUNTRY MAKES MY HEART HAPPY. WE VISITED 4 FAMILIES, THREE OF WHICH ARE NOT ACTIVE RIGHT NOW AT CHURCH. SISTER PEMBERTON IS AND A GREAT LADY SHE IS, SHE WOULD BE EVEN IF SHE WERE NOT ACTIVE. ALL WERE VERY NICE AND INVITED US TO STAY FOR DINNER. WE THANKED THEM FOR THE OFFER BUT DECLINED.

DEE WILL BE OK

DEE WENT BACK TO THE HOSPITAL TODAY AND THEY TOLD HIM IT IS NOT A DEEP VAIN CLOT THE KIND YOU HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT. THEY DIDN'T KNOW THAT UNTIL THEY HAD TIME TO READ THE ULTRA SOUND AFTER WE LEFT YESTERDAY. HE WILL NOT HAVE TO TAKE THE MEDS OR MORE SHOTS, JUST DOUBLE THE ASPERIN. THE LORD SURE LOOKS OUT AFTER US WITH LITTLE MIRCLES.

I tried to post pictures again

As you can see the picture post didn't work. Oh well some day I will find the "done" sign at the end of the down load and maybe it will work.

Today found us at the Hospital emergency room to be exact. Dee has been complaining about his leg hurting for the last week. Well not complaining but mentioning his leg hurt. I thought blood clot but could not get him to do anything. Well this morning he mention that the hurt was moving up his leg. I had a mild fit and said he's going to the doctor no matter what. Well a call to nine doctors no one taking a new patient right now or the first apointment was in Feb that did not help right now. So off to the emergency. Boy, what great service Dee got. They did a ultra sound then we waited a half an hour. The Doctor, from Zimbobawe was very nice. Dee has to have one shot for three days and then the fourth day (Boxing Day here) he goes in for blood tests and takes medication for up to six months. We were out of there in two hours. We will be able to get back to work tomarrow.

I can't get the pictures to post.

Help! I got them to down load but they never printed out to the blog. What am I doing wrong?
I waited 10 or more minutes and tried it again. It never said it was done but the little blue loading sign would finish. How do you get the pictures on to the blog. The pictures are on the computer and I am trying to use them.

This is what happens when I trust my luggage to the airlines and check it!
