So I couldn't help myself for wanting so much to be able to pioneer.  The talks were so pointed, so ... can't think of the word, but it sure stirred the pioneer bug in me.  I think too, with aux. this month it also played a role.  Plus, they were really saying, so many aux. why not keep it going.  I know, I couldn't do 50 let alone 70 hours a month, but it the desire is there.

There was another point brought out, about simplifying.  We have been told for years to simplify, but have we? Not rea...

Saturday, Lauren & I went to the assembly, Colton came down and drove us, along with Bill & Carol to the C.A.  Leon & Steph didn't make it, they just weren't well enough.  Since Leon knew he could handle driving, Colton went home last night.

But then, last night I started running a HIGH fever, oh, i was sure sick. Leon said, I looked really bad last night and brought me an ice pack to try and cool down the fever  Although I was all packed and ready to go, I wasn't up to going today.  Steph isn...

I made my time.  I got my 30 hours in.  I sure hope I did the math right :o  I managed with just 2 address left.  Steph claimed them as she still needs 2 more hours.  I guess a number of people still have addresses for me, but we haven't gotten anymore yet.  Hope we can get those, so I will have some for next month.  I want to try and do 20 hours a month if I can.  I would be happy with 15, but 20 would be my higher goal.

So I will be able to go to the circuit assembly tomorrow and relax a bi...

So since the memorial is Sunday night (tonight), we had the Sunday meeting (of the C.O. & D.O visit) Saturday morning.  It was such a nice meeting.  Our CO bro. Letcher gave such a good talk.  But I find him a little hard to follow, as he talks fast.  Then our DO bro McKey gave the second talk.  Which again was fabulous!

At the hall, Lucy told the girls she wanted to come over, but before we had a chance to talk to her parents, the meeting for service started and we had to leave.  Sarah called...

Today we had the pioneer meeting, it was so so so very wonderful!!!  I got good and dehydrated concentrating for the whole time, but it was so worth it.  I was there, not phone hook up. 

My wrist is so bad today.  A couple weeks ago my right wrist was giving me trouble, it kept getting worse, swollen, bad pain. Ice packs helped some.  Then it was getting better, and now it is much worse.  And being write handed and depending on writing letters, yeah, a little tough, but not so bad if I keep m...

So it is the 9th, and I am no longer behind on my service time.  I am now 1 hour ahead  (happy dance).  I think I mentioned it before, but not sure.  Stacy told me of a site to look up addresses.... IT WORKS!!!  I'm so glad!!!  I was starting to run  low on addresses, so I was able to get more now.  Very revealed! 

So far Deenie & Stacy will be coming Monday to do some letter writing.  I hope I will have enough addresses.  I do about 3 and hour.  On a good day I can do 4, on a bad day I can d...

So I need to vent something....  yesterday I was told about a wife who was very sick.  Her husband took her to the hospital, finding she needed surgery.  The wife then proceeds to yell at her husband for taking her to the hospital.  
Is it just me or is that the stupidest reason on the planet to yell at your husband?!?

It isn't his fault she is sick.  He loves her and cares enough to take her to the hospital, and she yells. 

I will NEVER understand this sort of behavior.  However, I also think...

I don't know if I have talked about food.  All the food I can and can't eat, and when I can and when I can't????

Peppers (Green, Red, Yellow, Orange and so on)...... non stop indigestion
Meat........... doubled over in horrible pain and then the runs
Eggs... not even egg whites.  and especially not fake eggs............... the runs
Dairy...... it curdles inside me, it comes up a...

I am just loving this warmer weather.  It feels so good to be able to have the window open and letting fresh air in the house.  I was so glad to have clean bedding too!  I woke up with a killer headache this morning.  Just didn't have any pep despite the nice temps.   I only managed to do an hour of letter writing this afternoon.

Steph & I went for a walk yesterday and we were talking about her working at DQ... if she were to be called back.  She said she didn't really want to go back there, b...

Jehovah has given us a wonderful opportunity, by letting reducing the auxiliary pioneer hours from 50 to 30 for the month of April.  This has really excited all of Jehovah's people.  Many of the brothers have talked to elders in various congs. and have said at least 50 percent of the publishers have signed up to aux. pion.

In our own cong. of 44 publishers, 30 have signed up to aux. pion. that is 70% of the cong.  I guess 5 of the 44 are not baptized.  It is just so exciting.

Then last night, ...
