Soochow Study Finished for 2024...

It was a full-filling day...

I was up early and went out for my 10k.

Then I went to supervise the cleaning lady before going to take a shower and helping with Mom. After she took off, I headed to church. I wanted to set up and get the food in the little oven to heat it up. I had a lot to bring... 

The study went well and we had such an abundance of food... 

That ended late, but I was still able to get to Soochow by 1:01. I set up and we had five students... two didn't show up. It was our last time for this semester and we did a few Christmas games and I ended by inviting the kids to consider taking a step of faith in giving their lives to Jesus.

I was home by 4:10 as I didn't stop at WGE. I had too much stuff... and I was tired.

I cleaned up and laid down and soon Mom was home... 

It was a very short Power Nap!

Tonight we had Family Time!

A Much Needed Catch-Up Monday!

I was up early as the boys were up at 2am to watch the game... The Chargers won... but it was pretty close!

I didn't go out to run, thinking it would be cool... Boy was I wrong?!?!?!

I decided to get out the Christmas decor before getting Mom up...

What do I mean by Christmas decor?

One strand of tinsel

One strand of lights

One small ceramic Christmas tree

Three small manger scenes and one larger one

THAT'S IT!

I love the simplicity and beauty of Christmas... 

After Mom left, I decorated and then worked on calling the social worker for Mom's evaluation that's coming up. The good news: I can start using the services even though the evaluation won't be until December 18th. YEAH! Then I took the time to sew Mom's pants... the elastic needed redoing... 

Finally at 11:08, I went out for my 10k. It was so blaring hot. My legs melted... I dragged myself home and took a shower. Forget going to WGE.

I had errands to run... Alan's candy canes to pick up, bills to pay, books to return, worksheet to copy off, eggs to buy. I got home and started making the carrot raisin bread for the Soochow Bible Study tomorrow. Very yummy! And I also made soy bean milk for my coffee... Again, very yummy!

Mom was back... and I had her dinner ready.

Tonight I had prayer time with two sisters...

I love listening to Christmas music... and reading the Christmas passages.

Soochow 24hr Ultra and Others Things

I was up early and then went to Soochow to see the runners... Just astounding... To run for 24 hours around a 440 track and at such speed... The three runners, two men and one lady, were averaging 11-12k per hour, for 24 hours!

I went to WGE and then went and bought bread before coming home for Mom Care.

We left early for church because we had to pick up the guitar. Isaiah was leading worship and I was translating.

The service went well and we dropped off Fenny before coming home. I got Mom to bed and then I had two prayer appointments. 

What does this week look like? You already know the answer...

Oh... Abby has arrived safely back in Brazil...

Well... We've voted and the Family Verse has been decided... starting January 1st, 2025, I'll end with this verse:
