We enjoyed several visits recently. Several young men came to the church two weeks ago and it was good to get to know them better in our home the next Sunday afternoon.
The Mutzke family visited us on Sunday afternoon after ministering in the morning service.
Dustin has been practicing with the soccer team here in the village that Devon has been working with as an assistant coach. He has really been enjoying it.
Kay and Susan invited us and others from church to their home for food, fellowship and a lantern walk. Above, the ladies gathered in the kitchen just before supper.

A visit to the pigs after we got back to the farm
Dustin and Danielle were both interested in feeding them. The pigs were hungry and loud.
Kay served up the icecream during dessert time.
Here Kay showed us a trick with an empty tea bag which he lit, and which lifted of and dissolved before our eyes.
We drove down to Camp Impact on Tuesday morning and came home Saturday night. We had a good time working there, and enjoyed the challenges that came with the season: staying warm. :)
Danielle helped with the raking.
Doreen worked with the blower for hours that first day.
We gathered the leaves as best we could.
One of our mowers: Dustin
We transported the leaves in bags to the pile beyond the fence.
Donovan enjoyed trying the blower. It was pretty heavy, but he had fun for a few minutes.
Danika and Dustin on "their" wall,
Bradley joined us on Thursday and did a lot of raking that first day.
The kids put it all in bags the next morning. It was very hazy all day.
Danielle was the "Snack-Lady" on Friday. She spent most of our days (and nights!) in her snowsuits. I had several along.
The kids ended up filling 28 bags that morning.
Having fun, while working

Donovan turned 7 on October 14th. A whole month has passed since then. We have had many ups and downs with our computer in that time, and I was gone for the good part of a week while at Camp impact during the last days of October. Our pictures are in our computer that is crippled, so that blogging has not been on the agenda for awhile. :)
