Wedding Bells

On November 3th we had an email that said our phone bill was not being paid because of our credit card. We canceled the card when we thought it was stolen. We were worried and upset thinking all of our utilities were not being paid. The stress was so high. I said to David that the adversary was working hard on us and there was a miracle just waiting to happen. We knelt and prayed to know where we should go. When the prayer was finished we both had the same name come to mind, Pait Henshaw. We went to her apartment and knocked on her door. Pait came to the door in tears with pain in her eyes. I reached for her and asked, "What can we do for you." She told us that her wedding was scheduled for the next day and the judge had changed the time and now no one was able to be at the wedding. We asked if they had the license and when she said yes we told her we could find someone the perform the marriage. We quickly called the bishop who was just going into a movie with his wife and he said he would arrange his work schedule to be available. The next day the wedding went very well. I guess I can count that as helping with 22 wedding now. Pait asked how we knew to come to her home that night and we told her that it was the Lord and that he was aware of her and what she needed.


Elderberries


We exercise every morning. There is a beautiful trail that goes along the St. John's River. On this trail there are huge Elderberry trees. I learned that it is illegal to cut down the trees or pick the fruit because there is an endangered beetle that uses Elderberries for food. I was thinking of my sister Esther when I saw this. She loves to harvest the berries and make syrup.
