Half Day of Prayer

On June 6, 12 of us went to Three Island Crossing state park for our half day of prayer.

COVID Season

Last time I updated this blog, I had no idea what was about to happen. Almost all of our plans for March - June changed. 
One thing that did happen was that Ed had shoulder surgery March 20. It went well and he is healing up nicely.


Like many other people, our lives were filled with Zoom and Facebook video calls. 


We even did Easter sunrise service and communion via Zoom.



I also took the unexpected extra time to finish projects I had put off for months (even years!)

March 30, we had a strong earthquake here in Idaho. It shook the house. We had three things fall off our walls. Aftershocks are still occurring. 



Idaho opened up earlier than many other states, so we were able to ease back into having people over in May. We started off in our driveway. The next week we met in the backyard. We were then allowed to have small groups indoors. We are all so happy to be with each other at our house and at the chapel.

In October 1/3 of the base deployed for a 6 month tour which ended up being 8 months. Many of them are back now. Our singles still aren't back yet. The base public affairs posted the picture below of a dear family to us being reunited. I have spent lots of time with the wife. I am so happy for her. I walked with her and her kids a few weeks ago, that is the other picture below.





There is so much more to report but this will do for now.
