LOVE this pic!
 
 Yeap, Colton is in Hibbing today.  Steph went to work for him... no, Colton went to work, but so Colton could get off early Steph finished his last 1 1/2 hours.  Colton wanted to get up to Hibbing in time for the meeting.  It should be interesting, He was up all night working (the night before last) he didn't sleep real long yesterday, then up all night last night and will be up all day today.  Autumn made him promise to leave for home around 5pm so he could get some sleep.  Although Colton has a number of friends and we have family up there, so if he was too tried to drive home, he could crash elsewhere. I don't know if he has gone to the Hibbing Kingdom Hall before or not.  I know he has been to Virginia, but I don't think he has been to Hibbing.  So it will be nice for him to meet the friends there. 

I didn't sleep real well.  Today Lauren took one look at me and said I should go lay down.  I went and looked in the mirror and whoa, I look so bad!!!!  EO isn't feeling great, he is just worn out!  But he still has more hunting to do.  Poor EO. :(
Steph hunted last night, and shot at a deer, but she didn't get it.  
 
Lauren isn't feeling good and Steph is SUPER sick!  I think it is nerves.  A girl she is informal studying with (only using the Bible) was going to go to the meeting with Steph, but I don't think she is showing up.  Steph has invited her .... so many times and the girl says yes, but then backs out at the last minute.  It is so sad.  In some cases, I guess you can't even lead the horse to water, let alone make them drink.  We have been praying about it like crazy as we know Jehovah is the one who draws right hearted ones. But, even though we see potential doesn't mean what we are seeing is the heart condition.  So at what point to do give up on a person and move on?  She shows interest, but won't commit.  The girl feels so full of error, she doesn't feel worthy.  So that is what Steph is working on with her.  When it is an issue of not feeling worthy, it is like the last thing you want to do is give up, cause doesn't giving up imply they aren't worth the effort?  I guess this week will decide things for her.  She has some serious problems that are going to be addressed so... i guess we will just wait and see.  Steph really has her heart involved in this, she wants to much to help her.  pray pray pray pray pray...  i pray for the girl to not give up on the truth and to have the courage to attend the meetings. and pray that Steph isn't devastated if she does give up.

It amazes me, how when I break down and cry real hard, the cats come to me and try to comfort me.  I'm a wreck today.
Besides being emotionally drained in constant prayer, I am so sick today.  Maybe later I will feel a little better.  I sure enjoyed the WT lesson today and the public talk was GREAT!  But, being my favorite place to be in the whole world is at a District Convention.  So being able to hear the personal comments about their favorite convention, just touched my heart so deeply.  Since I studied the lesson, I've been thinking about which DC was my favorite.... I just can't pick one.  There isn't one that stands out over the rest.  I love each and everyone.  True there are different aspects, different points, but I can't put one above the rest.  At the DC, I feel so at peace, so at ease and comforted and instructed and counselled and encouraged and loved and united and spoiled and honored my mind and heart are refreshed and uplifted.  It is as close to paradise as we can get in this old system.
