July 18. Started packing for our trip this morning and got some more done this evening. A lot of time was spent writing e-mails today and getting some necessary business taken care of before our trip. I printed 75 more copies of the flag tract, cut 100 of them (25 had been printed yesterday); and Connie stapled and folded 50 of them. She will do the other 50 tomorrow. Then, Lord willing, we can get them mailed on Wednesday. Got this past week’s journal notes together in a file to send to Connie along with some pictures. Carlos came early this evening to look at our car window. He says it needs a new motor, which will cost $85, not $400 like Christy was told by someone else. Daddy gave him some money to buy a motor, and he is going to come back tomorrow evening to put it in the car. “And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.” Acts 7:60 How do we respond to those who hurt us? Do we love our enemies and ask the Lord to forgive them? July 19. A very busy day. Did a little more packing this morning after breakfast and quiet time. Then it was off to the chiropractor and shopping. From Dr. Prime’s office, we went to Crossroads Thrift Store. I was thankful to find a number of things I was looking for today -- a few blouses and a couple other items. On top of that, there was a lovely white dress. In the center of the dress front, however, there was a little spot. Maybe a little bleach would take it out, however. Daddy found a nice suit, but I’ll need to take down the cuffs on the pant legs. He really needed another one. On the way to Crossroads, we saw that there was a new little salvage store at the very end of that block of stores. So after our thrift store shopping, we stopped at the salvage store. The owner’s name is Ginger. She was very nice. They have some food, but quite a variety of other items. Found a couple skeins of yarn, but mostly we got food. Most of the fridge and freezer food was only 50 cents or a dollar. Found some nice organic drinks to take on our trip and some organic crackers and fruit-nut grain bars. After that, we came back home and put away the foods we had bought. We were surprised to see that it was almost 12:00 already. So decided that our next stop would be Subway for lunch. From Subway, we went to Incredible Edibles, then Big Lots, Mighty Dollar, WalMart, and Aldi before getting back home around 2:00. Time for nap. This afternoon, I checked over the clothes we had bought today, cut shoulder pads out of one, cut the sleeves off another, took the cuffs down on Daddy’s suit trousers, then put those items in the hamper to be washed tomorrow. I also put spray ‘n’ wash on the spot on that white dress; and lo and behold, it took the stain right out without having to use bleach. Washed the dress and hung it on the bathtub. Didn’t want to hang it outside where a little birdie might make another spot on it. While we were out, Connie stapled and folded the last 50 copies of the flag tract. We had bought a mailer for them at WalMart so this afternoon, I was able to get them all wrapped up and packed into the mailer. Wrote a short letter to David and Amos to stick in the packet, sealed it up and addressed it, and it is ready to be mailed tomorrow. It was very hot today - 95º on the thermometer near WalMart. Carlos came again this evening with the motor for the window. Praise the Lord, it was only $55 and not $85. $85 is the price for the one on the driver’s side. We are grateful that he got that all fixed for us before our trip. “Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.” Acts 8:4 The persecution helped to push the disciples into beginning to fulfill the great commission. God did not want them to wait until all of Jerusalem was reached before they began moving toward the uttermost. At this time, they only went into Judaea and Samaria. And when they went into Judaea and Samaria, they went EVERYWHERE preaching the word. July 20. Pretty worn out this evening after another busy day. Laundry to do and finish packing. The packing took most of the day. Also wrote a couple e-mails, sent a couple text messages, did the dishes, and gave Daddy’s hair a proper cutting. Hopefully the hair cut will be good for the next four weeks. We packed a few things into the van and will do the rest early in the morning. Daddy took the package of tracts to the Post Office and mailed them. We pray that they will arrive safely at their destination. “And there was great joy in that city.” Acts 8:8 When the word is preached and souls are saved, there should always be great joy.
