We had a good morning at the Berean office today. Marvin forgot his phone but Gail called right at 9:30 am (our prayer time) so we didn't even miss Marvin's alarm. He has his phone alarm set at 9:30. We get so busy if we need that reminder to stop and pray for the prisoners and for us.
Skip accidently found 2 bulletin boards by knocking them over when he came in for the prayer. They were stored behind the door. Marvin brought them and some day we will get them installed as we end up with so many reminders there isn't any room on the one we have up.
After the prayer Marvin flipped his chair to repair the rollers.
We had a busy day today, more mail than expected and lots from Michigan. When that happens we really miss Vonnie. She and Verle always took those home and graded them. Michigan is special in that red ink is NOT allowed for grading. We cannot use anything but blue or black ink, therefore those studies can't be put in for others to grade. We used all of the Bibles we had at the office. Skip has 10 cases ordered but they hadn't arrived yet. We had more requests than Bibles today so some we were only able to fill a partial.
Below Kathy is asking Marvin how to answer a difficult question.
We had a crumb cake Sarah gave us along with donuts for our treat today. After we took a break Kathy still had some letters to write and I was working on envelopes doing mom's job since she is still in Gulf Shores when Skip came back to the office with more Bibles. Those 10 boxes came in and we were able to finish today's requests. As soon as those were stuffed, processed and put in the car with the other mail. I needed to leave at 11:45 am so I could pick up the girls from school. River always gets out 15 minutes before the others as she is in preschool.
When Eden and Zion got to the car we left for Menards to pick up 2 buckets of mortar for Sarah and Nolan's new house. Sarah was busy today finishing the brickwork in the kitchen and living room.
It looks terrible right now but once it is on and dry she cleans it off then puts another layer on.
She had already finished the kitchen walls.
She also did the fireplace.
Zion went with her dad to get the shower doors for the 2 full bathrooms
They finished the new half bath off the hallway.
This house used to be owned by an electrician and there were so many outlets both above the windows and below. They removed all of the ones above but check out how many are left in the master bedroom.
There were 7 or 8 on each wall. The girls were glad to show me Zion's room.
Then their room. 
They each have their own closet.
We had some fun with the big mirror in their room.
They hope to start moving next week.
Mark came with me to the Hanna City post office to drop off the two boxes of Bibles going out. When we got back he went out to cut up some of the downed limbs while it was still mild out. We hit 50 degrees today but not much sunshine. This is our last mild day for a while, winter is returning tonight!
