Back in time, to catch up..

Hello family and friends,

we are doing very well, but before tellin you of current happenings we would like to step back a few weeks to fill in, i will try to do this on each email to catch all up on past and present happenings.

Thankyou so much for the love and support shown by so many, the get togethers were wonderful!

Brother and Sister Josiah from SL were at Patterson last mos. we had the priveledge of picking them up for a weekend. They say "thankee, thankee" for the love and hospitality shown by the friends. They enjoyed the gathering and seeing the sights of New England. Our family enjoyed spending time with them and getting tidbits to prepare us for the big move.

*i am currently in service and was able to stop at an internet cafe for a couple minutes while my service partner did a call in German

we have co this week, tuesday there were 120 in attendance at our home for the meeting, the kh is being demolished for rebuilding, they will continue to use our home for a few mos. it is such a blessing , both south and north congregations are meeting so we meet many new friends.

it was truly a miracle that they are using our home. they had been using it but when theyt heard we were coming they had a vote to move the meetings. they had two places to choose, neither easy for the friends to get to, the vote was tied..... this was last thursday..... they announced they would have a revote on Sunday. A brother emailed us friday night to get our vote, we did not know it was a tie or revote, they just asked our vote, we unexpectedly had email access at the room we rented in london, otherwise would not have gotten the email. we emailed our vote, but also let them know that our home could still be used if wanted. We were unaware of the tie vote or the big joy the friends had on sunday when it was announced to both congregations that they did not have to have a revote sunday, but could continue meeting in the home. It really is a convenient location for the friends and is a good witness in the neighborhood. Many know the home, because our landlord is a nurse and works out of her home. The blessing of 120 in attendance on Tuesday was wonderful! The other congregation has there service meeting on Friday, our is normally thursday but was changed due to co visit, we have book study tonight.


Goodbye for now, love to all,
Lorie

Hello So glad all is going well. It is such a wonderfull blessing to have KH meetings in your home. We will be staying in Danbury for the winter. We will put house up in the spring. I got results from MRI I have a bulging disc. I will get a shot in my neck next week for the inflamation. I do hope it works as it is very painful. Docter said eather a shot or surgery. I said shot to see if that would work. well I got to go to bed. Love Mom
