Cool Refreshing RAIN!!!

The clouds started rolling in while Eliza was being covered. We were moving fast to get the bales moved before the rain but ended up no hurry at all the morning rain missed the farm. By the time we reached Maxwell road on our way to church the lightning hit something important and the stop lights were out and all the electricity to the jail was out. Spark had the Taylor young group and Bible class there to sing. When the gym when black things got a bit scary. There were NO emergency lights as the generator also failed. It was pitch black in the gym, there was a full room of inmates, only 2 female guards and a the group from Taylor Missouri. The ministers that went along were doing a LOT of praying.
Church was amazing! It is wonderful when the church is full with people all there to worship and praise. We had 2 visiting ministers from Taylor, Scott spoke in the morning and Kent Heimer spoke in the afternoon. Both were SO thought provoking I'm going to listen to them again. All I can say was the Spirit of God was in Peoria church today. Once church was over we were so happily surprised to see almost an inch of good drenching rain had fallen at the farm.
Amy Koch came over with her daughter Sarah and her grandchildren Olivia (Livy) and Michael to see the puppies. Livy sits down with them and asks, "Are these ALL dogs?"

Emma came in and leaned up against Amy and Michael glad for the support when the puppies swarm all over her.

We hiked over to mom's where we heard a group was playing volley ball and on the way Paris comes wandering down the lane all tacked up.
Michael and Livy enjoyed riding her.

Amy helped me get DaMita covered as she is in season and ready to stand while her grandchildren were riding.
Spark showed up to move the fire engine ladder higher so Bethany and Hanna could practice without the silk hitting the ground. Noel, Spark's grand daughter took a ride before putting Paris away.
While we were watching them practice the kids were playing with the puppies.



Below is hanging Hanna so high upside down scaring us.

Then Bethany and Hanna had to show us another neat move.

We will have to make a video of them.
It was my turn to have Nancy but Karin picked her up and brought her to church. After dinner mom and I drove Nancy home then watched the volley ball games. It was the Haiti missionaries against the USA group. USA won 2 games, Haiti won 1 but by the 3rd game they were losing daylight quickly.

Mark walked back to the farm while I drove the car to find another group of kids in with the puppies. These puppies are SO well socialized.
