Willy- update

Had to wait an extra day for a letter. With the Easter Holiday, the libraries were closed on Monday so letters were a day late. Next week are transfers so letters will be on Tuesday again! Willy said that their car has been in the shop, so they have done alot of walking and biking. He is ready for the car to be fixed. They have someone that they have been teaching, he asked to pray for him and them. He asked for his line of authority. He is doing awesome. He asked for more letters and to continue to pray for him. We are so proud of him.

Redneck campout!!



We got a tent for free, however it did not have any poles, so Rhubin and Noah did some measuring and got conduit and made poles, the boys put it up on the front lawn and slept out in it that night. Payton decided they needed a TV, why the kids were busy doing chores, Rhubin went and hooked up cable for them, the next morning they decided to watch tv before tearing down everything....We did get some crazy looks from the neighbors. The sure did have a good time.
