August 1. Praise the Lord for a safe trip today and good time starting to get acquainted with the Morrows! I was hoping to be up by 6:00 this morning, but it was 6:20 again before I woke up and found that Daddy was already gone from the room. Got up and dressed. Made sure I had some quiet time before packing up. We didn’t need to hurry as we only had a short distance to go. Enjoyed breakfast and chat time with the Palmers before getting everything packed and loading up the car. It was still a bit early to leave so we sat down again and chatted some more. A little after 9:30 we said good-bye to the Palmers and headed north to Black Creek. Stopped at the Fox River Mall in Appleton, thinking we would go to GNC and try to find a supplement. As we turned into the mall, however, we saw a Vitamin Shoppe right on the corner so stopped there. Arrived at the Morrows around 11:00. It was a joy to meet them at last - Don, Grace, and their daughter Amanda. And, of course, their huge dog, Bear. He didn’t know quite what to think of us at first, but gradually realized that we are friends. The Morrows live in a nice big farmhouse with a big red barn in the back. Most of today was spent getting acquainted. It is a blessing to be with people who are like-minded in many ways regarding God’s word. After lunch, they showed us around the house. After supper, we all (except Grace) went for a walk on some of the pathways Don has mowed around the property. It was a refreshing walk. In the evening, we showed them our slide presentation and the books on PNG and sat and chatted a while. August 2. It was about 11:00 when Daddy and I got to bed last night, but we were awake around 6:00 this morning. Sun gets up early here in Wisconsin. After getting dressed and having some quiet time, we went out to the kitchen. There we chatted with Don and Grace for some time before sitting down for breakfast. Most of the rest of the morning was spent at the computer, getting yesterday’s journal notes completed and transferring and editing pictures. Had taken quite a few pictures on our walks around the property. In the afternoon, after nap, I finished editing the pictures. After supper this evening, we went for a ride with the Morrows... made a stop at a HUGE grocery store called Woodman’s where we got some low-fat yogurt, All-Bran, and juice. When we came back, we sat and chatted again in their living room, and we enjoyed that special time with them. Then Beatrice returned a call that Daddy had made earlier, and we talked with her a few minutes, making arrangements to go over to Minnetonka next Monday and spend a couple days with her. She is excited about our coming, and it will be good to see her again. “38Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: 39And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.” Acts 13:38,39
