Low humidity....cool nights....a gentle breeze....are you jealous yet??? : )

The Lord blessed us with the privilege of meeting the dear folks of Emmanuel Baptist Church here in Box Elder, SD. What sweet people!
This is our second destination on this long trip out West. Wednesday evening, our family ministered in music and Daddy preached.

Before the service, we had a cookout, and we all had delicious hamburgers and hot dogs with all the fixin's. : ) On Thursday, we ate buffalo for the first time! It was wonderful!

It's so neat to be able to look around and see the whole town with the hills in the background.

Dad and Mom, Pastor and Mrs. Schultz, and the Heggem family

Half of us stayed with the Heggems,

and half of us stayed with the Hubers. What a blessing they have been to our family!

Monday afternoon before we left, the Folkers invited us over for some homemade hoagies. Mmmmmmm!!!

Wonderful food and wonderful fellowship! : )

We have been having trouble with the transmission on our van, and it finally said, "I can't take it any more!" : ) We had to put it in the shop to get it fixed while we went on to our next meeting. Some people in the church kindly let us borrow their 26 passenger bus for the weekend. When Allison first saw it, she got soooo excited. "We get to ride the short bus!" : ) Ray has since politely informed us that he was the driver of the short bus. : ) : )

It always amazes us how the Lord always provides for our needs. There may be some bumps along the way, but we can always trust Him to take care of us no matter what! 'Tis SO sweet to trust Him!!!
