So my mom needed a householder last night (I mentioned that on my Meeting Notes page) and since Steph was already a householder, and Lauren said no, and her householder couldn't, that left my mom stuck.  Last time she asked Ethel, she told her no more.  Linda would have but she too had a part.  Julie is gone and there aren't very many who want to deal with her.  So, even though I was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoo sick, I prayed and prayed and then I sucked it up and got through it.  I couldn't concentrate on anything, so i got nothing out of the meeting.  I was in sheer misery, and my digestive track was flipping out.  I did end up taking a nap in the afternoon.  I slept for 2 hours.  Man oh  Man I was sick.  Today I am just as bad.  When I need to get up, it takes me about 15 mins just to muster up the strength to stand.  I feel like someone beat me within an inch of my life.  Well anyway, even though no one could really hear me and my line was terrible, EO and Steph said they could get the gist of what I was saying.  Thus the reason I can't comment or give parts over the phone line.  But what else what she to do?  I know she is difficult for people to get along with, but my conscience would have bothered me for interfering with her worship.  As giving a part is worship to Jehovah.  I just can't prevent someone from being able to worship Jehovah.  So what if no one could hear me... she was the one with the meat and flavor of the part anyways, I was just filler.   Oh and one other thing... from my end when I listen to the meeting... it is always quite, and some brothers are impossible to hear, and lots of time the sound breaks up.  It would drive my mother in sane if she had to listen to how I hear the meeting.

ok, so yeah, i feel so sick...yuck!  I will be spending the day in bed.  I did however manage to put another hour in the ministry, so I have 16 for the month.  Only with Jehovah's help is that even possible.  I am both humbled and honored he allows me to have a share in the ministry.  I have been thinking about aux in August, but I have to talk to the family about it.  I have no idea if I can even manage it...well, of coarse I can.... all things are possible with Jehovah.  But I still need to talk to the family as I would need their help.  Again, if it is Jehovah's will, he will make it happen.



At the DC, I had a problem I have never had before, my knees were killing me while I was sitting.  Twice I actually had a charlie horse in my knees.  It wasn't from standing, as I would go to my seat and stay there until after I ate lunch, which I would go to the restroom right after I ate and then I would go sit until we left.  which is a lot of sitting, which I just didn't want to do anything to wear myself out from being there each day.  I know I was plenty tired, but I couldn't bare the thought of not being there.

I thought I would post a few more pics of the fair.  There were so many baby goats... we miss having baby goats, they are just so stinkin cute!!!  There were deer that you could actually pet, and EO says there was one calf that loved being pet.  Normally they don't care to be touched.  Baby animals are one of my favorite gives from Jehovah!!!
