How do things just disappear? Did it grow legs and walk out of here. I know I put it in my desk drawer. No, it must be one of those two legged people carried it off somewhere.  Still looking for my connector to my phone to upload pictures. 

What has happened since my last post?  Sara and I went on a 4 mile hike up Pinnacle Peak.  Yes, this is the one that supposedly the Washburns hiked but let me tell you I found out they did not hike the whole trail. On the other hand, I kept telling myself, if she could do it, I certainly could do it  I was huffing and puffing and stopping for breath. I thought my heart was going to come out of my chest or I was going to have a heart attack on that trail.  I realized there was no way Sister Tammy would do this. Ha! I confirmed with her that they did not.  It was the  hardest trail I have ever done. And although I'm older I have done some pretty good hikes in my day.   People were asking me along the way if I was ok.  Sara was so embarrassed. Kept telling me mom stand up. Ha! Ha!  I wasn't embarrased at all.  I figure I was doing this trail for enjoyment to see the sites and anyway what was the hurry.  The funny part was they asked me on the way up the trail. They should have seen me on the way back.  They would have called for an ambulance.  That trail was steep and more ups than downs I fear. Anyway I made it and was pretty excited.

I kept telling myself you need to get in shape if your going to Israel again.  Last time Amos took us through an underground tunnel. I think we walked about 5 miles that day and this tunnel was up and up and very tight surroundings.  I sent off our applications and deposit. Trusting Jimmie will be back in time.  He did tell me last week that it looks like he will be back in November.  I hope that holds true.

 Getting ready for Youth Convention coming up.  I will be on program again to preach.  I sometimes wonder why they want an old lady like me to preach at their convention but feel blessed they ask. :)  We are getting ready to have a youth revival here May 3-10 with Stephen Wantulok.  We have had so many young couples move here lately I am glad we are having one now.  I had discussed it with Bro. Stephen back at assembly.  Saw him in a restaurant and he began to speak with me.  I had been looking for someone for a youth revival but each one I would think of even though they were good candidates I didn't feel God telling me they were the one now.  As I spoke to him the Lord told me to ask him to come. He said yes immediately and was so polite and eager. He was willing to pay his own way which is a big blessing to a small church. Maybe I shouldn't speak of finances and I know he doesn't want the praise but it is a blessing when you have a church way out west to have someone come and be willing to pay for his expenses and take time off of their job, use their vacation, etc.   I know he will be a blessing to us and I hope that we can be a blessing to him.

God bless. Have a wonderful Palm Sunday and Resurrection Day.  :)
