May 19 & 20

Howdy! Yesterday was a pretty good day. I went to breakfast with “the senior’s” group at Salmon River Community Church (SRCC) and a few of their friends. It was actually a lot of fun. Old people with funny old people stories make for a fun morning. After that I went to the church and set up their new wireless printer, a feat that baffled the breakfast table, and I tore down their old computer to be packed up for the garage sale. There was something else I did yesterday that I can’t remember at the moment. After that I came home to my RV and played guitar for a few hours, working up some hymns mostly. Then it was off to bed.

This morning Pastor Jim and I started the day with a trip to the church to practice some of the hymns I had worked up and a general guitar session. We’re going to go around to some of the houses of people from the church and play them some music later on. It was then that Mr. and Mrs. Fitch called with the news that Mrs. Fitch’s mother had fallen this morning and broken her hip, as well as cut her arm up pretty bad, so Pastor Jim and I went over to their house and prayed with them. She’s 89 years old and there have been a few complications with her treatment because she has a rare blood type. If you could please keep her in your prayers I know that the Fitch’s would appreciate it. After we left the Fitch’s we picked up an antique stove for the garage sale and went and mowed a lawn in town for a couple who is out of town. After that we went and met with the Folwells about what sort of vision they had for the youth and where I was going to be fitting in at the church. It was nice talking to them to get an Idea of where they are with the teens at the church. Then, to cap off the day, we went up to the high school and watched the Riggins adult softball game which was a lot of fun. We met a young man from Germany named Johaness. He was biking across the states and had come all the way from Virginia. It was really cool to talk to him and see where he’d come from.
