Hi Everybody..
It's good that some are putting news on the Beal Blogg. I really
enjoy reading them. We are doing good. The work is progressing well.
we have baptized s girl, age 25 and what a transformation she has
made. It's so wonderful to see how lives change when they accept and
live the Gospel of Christ. We are teaching six others and are hoping
they will get baptized soon.
We had a wonderful surprise when Jason and Nikki brought their family
down the week before Easter. Nikki was recuperating from an
appendicitis operation and Jason took a couple days off. They now
have five kids in their family. They have taken two little girls age
four and eight that their parents don't want the responsibility for.
I really admire them for doing it, there are so many kids that have
dysfunctional families. Drew, Jase and Ryli are so good to them. Nikki
has them in cheer leading, and gymnastics to boost their self esteem
and it's working well.
It snowed six inches the Saturday they were here, but we all had a
good time. I took them to a little store in Nucla and let each of
them buy stuff (junk) to entertain them. My wall is partly covered
with the pictures they colored for us. We sure miss our family.
Jason and Bryce have been digging a water line and laying pipe for
circles (four of them) for Brent's farm (Brent is the Nephew that we
sold most of our farm too) they are also going to take it down to our
pastures on the river bottom.
Bryce stopped in on his way to Louisiana to a directional drilling
job he was on in March..it was exciting to have him for a few hours.
Work has really slowed down in the Basin since your president shut
down most all the oil drilling.??? He's scary!!!
Hope all is well with all of you and yours. Just wish we were going
to be at the reunion, it's going to be hard not to be there for us. We
hope you like the new area and will have it next year so we can see
what it is like also.
Love to all of you.
