Brushing Scam

 Sarah took Israel to school today then kept Elisabet until she had to leave for her doctor's appointment. I stopped at the bank before heading down to the Peoria post office to pick up the Berean mail. There were no returned Bibles this week which either means they all reached their final destination OR the prison mail rooms didn't distribute them. Prisoners get moved around sometimes pretty quick and when they write for a Bible do not realize they will be moved before the Bible reaches them. Berean pays to have the Bibles sent back to us so we can mail them to another prisoner that asks for one. This afternoon I headed down to pick up Israel and Elisabet after Israel got home from school so David and Stephanie could rest. We went shopping so they could buy their mom a get well bouquet of flowers, a teddy bear holding a couple bunny lolipops and what was supposed to be a get well card but was really a mother's day card. Israel picked it out himself and both kids signed it.

I had barely made it home when I get the message Stephanie was on her way to the ER. She has just not been recovering and has only been able to keep down clear liquids and has had very sharp pain. It has been week since the resection surgery. Hopefully they will be able to help her. Joan sent the picture below with the note: Does anyone know anything about this watch that came in the mail with my name on it about a week ago?: 

This is a scam and is called the Brushing Scam. It is complicated but something to do with reviews from 'real' customers and really cheap merchandise. Just google it for more information. 

Lola's udder was checked before it got dark outside. No change so she was left in the field with Rosalie and her filly. The only update we have so far with Stephanie is they drew blood are running labs and waiting on results.  Hope we hear more soon.
