July 30. Praise the Lord for sunshine and a nice breeze today. Just before sitting down to breakfast, I put a load of clothes in to wash. Daddy and I hung them up right after breakfast. Then I helped Hazel with the dishes. Around 9:30, we left here for Oshkosh. Stopped at WalMart, and Daddy went in to pay the rent and get a 24-pack of bottled water. While he was in the store, I called Christy and talked with her for a while. When Daddy came out, we headed over to the Wings As Eagles hangar. There were already quite a few cars there. Enjoyed fellowship with Juanita W and some of the other ladies while some of the staff were still busy getting everything ready for lunch. Around 11:30, we sat down to eat - hot dogs, hamburgers, salad fixins, chips ‘n’ dip, desserts, lots of other things. I just had a salad and a few chips. After lunch, people sat at the hangar entrance or outside and watched the EAA (Experimental Aviation Association) air show. Daddy got my chair out of the car, and I put my legs up and closed my eyes until he called me around 2:00. Daddy and eight other missionaries and pastors who are involved in aviation or who depend on aviation for their ministry had been asked to be on a panel, and other folks asked them questions about their ministries. That went for about an hour. Then we set up our video presentation and a few people stood around and watched that. Afterward Daddy and I went out back toward the runways, watched the air show for a while, and took a few pictures. After leaving the hangar, we went to the church and took down our display before heading back to the Palmers’ place. Stopped at Dollar Tree and got a few snacks and cold beverages for the road. I had no idea how late it was until Daddy said it was after 5:00. We should have called the Palmers to let them know we were on our way, but we were almost there now. Hazel had dinner about ready when we got there - just had a couple things to heat up. I got the table set for her while she got the food ready. When supper was over, Daddy and I went out and brought in the clothes we had hung out in the morning. We had almost forgotten about them. After we got them put away, I lay down on the bed, very sleepy. It was a little after 6:00. When I woke up, it was a little after 7:00. Praise the Lord for His blessings today. July 31. The last day of July. I don’t know why, but it seems like July has been a very long month. The days all went by so slowly, it seemed like it would always be July. A nice sunny day today. Daddy thought about going to Waupun to church this morning since the meeting we thought we had scheduled didn’t work out. He was looking up information about when their meetings started, when I went upstairs to lie down. About 20 minutes before time to go, I started feeling very dizzy. Didn’t know if I would make it upstairs or not, but I was thankful I did so I could lie down on a comfortable bed. I wouldn’t be going anywhere feeling like that. So Daddy decided he would just go on to Wyldewood. I slept for about 45 minutes (I think) and then was able to get up although I still felt pretty weak for a while. Felt a fair bit better by noon. Had a little lunch. Did some crocheting and waited to see if Daddy would be back before I took a nap. He arrived back a little after 1:00 and had his lunch. Then we had our afternoon nap. The Palmers had company this afternoon, a couple named Larry and Dot from Marshfield. They had been in Oshkosh today for the EAA show and stopped by on their way home. We met them and said hello a few minutes before coming downstairs. Finished up the last lesson in a set of Sunday school lessons. Need to figure out now what pictures to put with them; then print and proofread and make corrections before printing final copies, and have Connie make visuals to go with them. After finishing the lessons, I did a little crocheting. Daddy was busy studying for preaching this evening. Around 5:15, we left for Lighthouse Bible Baptist Church in Fond du Lac. There were perhaps a dozen people there this evening, counting the pastor and us. Pastor Kennedy said that not many come out in the evenings, and also a number of folks are away right now. But the group that was there were very friendly, asked a lot of questions, listened attentively, and showed much interest in the work. They were a real blessing to us. We arrived back at the Palmers around 8:00, had a light supper, and enjoyed conversation around the table. “20And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, preaching the Lord Jesus. 21And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.” When we speak to others, we are to preach the Lord Jesus. It is through the preaching of the cross that souls will be saved.
