Happened upon our home
We did find a house. Yay! After 2,800 miles of dashboard time we simply happened upon the house as we were driving to another home viewing. There in the yard as we traveled down County Road GG was a beacon – a sign which read “For Rent.” After stopping in to see what the property was like we were interested.
Minnesota miles…
We made it to the Minneapolis area just fine and uneventfully which makes us very thankful. We have spent the last two days driving all over the northern highways surrounding the city. We have seen so many houses, but so far, our search continues. Today we’ll be driving to Wisconsin to look at some houses, one of which is in the country and seems to have promise.

Rocket Launch a soaring success!
The Rocket Launch weekend in Wisconsin was a soaring success. 78 were in attendance at services on the Sabbath and there was a very good turn out today for the Rocket Launch and picnic at Bong State Park. The weather could not have been more beautiful and we can certainly thank God for that. After the picnic and bake-off, we drove a short distance to view a steady flow of rockets streaming into the sky. Some rockets had surprises like gliders which detached and flew in circles back down to earth, while others measured 5, 6, and 8 feet in length and really packed some punch! All this on a very well-designed launching system that ensured safety and made the launch function very well.
KC Campout in Craig
The “camp out” in Craig, Missouri (outside of St. Joseph about 40 minutes) was a success!

On the Sabbath there were 82 zealous brethren gathered together under a shelter. The topic of the Sermon was “The Family” and was given by me.
