A Week Full of Variety

~ Monday, September 19 to Friday September 23 ~

 

 

CTS (Candidate Training School) Monday Afternoon

Jane Evans doing her part in training new staff at TFC’s International Office on communicating with the media.

 

 

Inge and I followed Jane with our part in training them on communicating with newsletters.

Inge helps them with their first mailing (prayer cards, letters, and brochures) and I help them set up and mail all future newsletters and event flyers.

There are many other training sessions during the week by other directors.

 

 

Out with the old.

When I got home from the office, the guys put our old “man cave” couch on the burn pile. This couch was in fairly bad shape before our grandsons and their friends began hanging out here about a year ago, so it was time for a new one.

 

 

Cerwin, Josh, and Joram removing the new couch from the pickup truck. Joram is a friend of our grandsons and spends as much time in the man cave as they do.

 

 

They love the new couch.

 

 

The crew who is harvesting corn were busy during the night on Monday, because the fields were bare when we woke up Tuesday morning.

 

 

This is when I go into special prayer mode for those who are packing down the silage by driving tractor in the bunks. The danger (at least in my eyes) is when the silage is higher than the bunk – and the job must be done for hours on end, even during the night.

 

 

Tuesday was my morning to take Jesse to prekindergarten, as his mom is recovering from surgery. In this photo we were waiting in line to drop him off at the door. He was in the back seat with his window down and seatbelt undone – telling me that he could see me in the mirror. Of course I could see him too.

 

 

By Thursday morning this bunk was full of corn silage, covered with plastic and sidewalls (half tires).

 

 

On Friday morning we woke up to heavy fog.

 

 

I think fog creates a peaceful atmosphere in the country.
