Unfinished Undone

We were undone today, we had to leave work unfinished. Well we could have stayed to finish it but the volunteers would have needed their pajamas and sleeping bags. We had a good crew of volunteers but it was just too much mail. Below are a few pictures of our very busy morning, the lunch break and our chaotic afternoon. Vonnie came in to pick up the papers she needed for Skyline so we put her right to work opening mail with Glenna, Joyce, Chuck and Eva Jean.

These are the Bibles were got out today which were really last Thursday's requests from when we ran out of Bible stamps. By the time these had the postage added and were loaded into my car there were around 200 mailed out today.

  Jan, mom, Shirley, and Kathy worked on letters while Jeanette opened studies. 

 I was so grateful for each and everyone that came and donated time for this program. It is a little overwhelming right now.

 Marie brought Megan, Justin and Timmy over on Saturday and they filled boxes and made thousands of copies but we still ran out of studies to be stuffed so below these ladies are filling boxes so we could fill the requests today.

 Eva Jean and Chuck are applying the labels to envelopes then the envelopes to the correct study.

 Wayne and Lukie provided the lunch today and did we ever have a treat. Lukie brought in Avanti sandwhiches with double the meat, fresh fruit, and veggies.

 While Wayne provide his speciality, He baked a pineapple upside down cake out on his grill and let me tell you it was amazing. The cake was so light and fluffy and the topping so moist and delicious we finally asked him what did he do to make this so good and he told us his secret. He added a stick of butter on top of the pineapples then apple pie filling to 'spice it up'. That was topped with vanilla ice cream.

After lunch Shirley and I kept entering the studies, Chuck and Eva Jean kept labeling the envelopes and the rest separated and started stuffing. 

By 4:00 pm we were all exhausted and ready to quit. These volunteers are going to sleep good tonight. What a long hard day. So so thankful that this office has air conditioning. We had a high of 95 degrees outside. On the way home I stopped at the Bartonville post office to drop off the Bibles, the Hanna City post office to drop of the 2 huge filled boxes of studies then stopped at Diane's to drop off the funeral committee folder. Walt Feucht died today and Diane is in charge of the funeral.
Tonight Emma was covered by Evan. She has now been in for 5 days. The next time she will be teased is Thursday morning early. Hope she goes out soon.
