Harvesting Corn

This past weekend we went to Bro. Lukacek's and helped him harvest his corn. That was a process of walking in front of the tractor with a bucket in hand. We would shuck the corn and pick it. You walk between two rows and do them both. This is all field corn. We started about nine in the morning, did one field, had a break and did a second field. We had another bite to eat, visited and headed home. We got home about nine with very sore fingers. It was a good work out.

Sunday was council Sunday. Then we had ten for lunch which totally filled up our little apt. I was ready for a nap.(which I didn't get)

I'm not sure what all will happen for Halloween. I don't think they trick or treat or anything that day. Nov. 1 is the day for the dead and we understand the cemetery's will be decorated and all lite up with candles. We have a very large cemetery a couple blocks away, so we will take the tour.

It's getting cloudy today so I checked the weeks weather. It looks like we along with Cami will be getting snow at some point this week. We'll see.

All is well. Challenges as we go, but this is a great people. They are very much worth all the work. It will be a great time when more and more recognize what a great message we have for them.

We love each of you and hope all is well in your neck of the woods. Please keep in touch with us. We need all the encouragement we can get.
