Ron and Marg

So, on Monday the 3rd of November, I had lunch with Ron and Margaret. Thank you for a delicious lunch and for the joy you always encourage in me. I was reminded that those special souls who pour into you when you are young do not stop caring or pouring even when you are not so young. I left their house feeling encouraged and full of hope for this world.

Wilma

So on Wednesday, Oct, 29th, I traveled to Cedar Rapids, Nebraska with my friend Lisa to visit Wilma. Thank you so very much for being such a great hostess. We had lunch at the Senior Center in Cedar Rapids and it was incredible. :) I spoke to the entire Senior Center about leprosy and Asia. Because it was Grandparent's day the 3rd and 4th graders came and did a short program which was wonderful, and then the best part was getting instruction on how to shuck corn by two of the adults. We (Lisa and I) were then given a tour of the church (I attended it when I was very young) and the town. Wilma, still plays the organ and still gardens. I was able to give Wilma a better picture of what I will be doing and I hope that I was able to answer all of her/your questions. Wilma says hello to her sisters and brothers in Lincoln and to Rhonda, Jerry, and Ben. :)

Second Open House

So, Thank you all who came to see me at my Open Houses. I know that it was very enjoyable to me and I hope that those of you who came, learned more of my plans. I am so glad that you were able to come. I know several of you were unable to make it and I am contimplating having another one later: I will keep you posted. I am humbled and encouraged by all of your love.
