Saturday, Fred went to Houston to help clean up after Hurricane Ike. He said it was like a war zone, there was nothing left. They had so many people respond that they had to restrict it to one crew per ward in our stake. They expected 500 people and 700 showed up that morning, they ran out of the "Mormon Helping Hands" tshirts! There were 8 men in their crew, they helped demolish 2 homes including cutting up the trees that fell in the yard. Someone told them their church was supposed to come out days ago and they never showed so he called their pastor to tell them not to worry about coming because the Mormons were helping. The pastor was out almost before that man could hang up his phone!
So, he was gone all Saturday and Isabelle went to the Medina County Fair to show her goat. She was gone all day too. Mikkel worked, so it was a busy day for everyone. This weekend is even busier... swim meet in the morning, baseball practice and piano lessons in the afternoon, Relief Society broadcast in the evening and goat feeding twice a day, every day. This will pretty much be the schedule until the end of the season, except that some Saturdays we'll have a county fair to go to as well.
Today, Jacob and Abigail decided that Jesus isn't a bad guy, He's a good guy. They always discuss who are the bad guys and good guys, I guess this discussion was bound to happen!

So tell us about the conversation that Abigail & Jacob had.
I think Jesus is a good guy too!
Wow! A goat! You guys are great -- so glad that you're patient enough to deal with feeding a goat twice a day! And good job Fred, going and helping out in Houston! That's 500 brownie points for you!
