Sunday, 4/12/26, went to both services, taught Sunday School, came home and ate and packed, headed to Onaway to go to a new forming chapter in Mi., great meeting, stayed at HaMorin Inn in Alpena

 

We started out dry in Saginaw, then ran into some rain.  There was quite a bit of snow still by Onaway and lots of flooding.  By the time we left and got to our hotel in Alpena it was pouring out.  Lots of flooding there too.

We went to Woodwind Restaurant and got to meet everyone in our new forming chapter.  Everyone was so nice.  Three youth were there so that was great.  I’m sitting next to Jackie, then is her husband Dale, son Jackson, Marsha and Russ- our area reps, Tom-president, Teresa -Secretary, Paige is across the table in the pink and is secretary.  Jackie gave a really good devotional so we asked her to be Chaplain for the chapter.

We went to the first service at church.  Worship was awesome!  People came up for prayer.  I prayed for a college girl named Abby.  I taught K-1 Sunday School after worship.  I was happy to see my kiddos again.  I have been off because of my hip surgery.  It was a great lesson for the kids today.  Abigail came up to me during the video and asked if I would sit by her because she was missing her brother Thomas. I did and as soon as the video was done she was ok.  We played a game with blocks that included answering discussion questions from the video lesson.  The kids did great!  

We stayed for the next service too.  I love being able to hear Pastors message in person instead of having to listen online.

We prayed for Ross after the service.  I also got to pray with Lisa for healing of dry eyes.  

We left, came home and ate, packed and left to go to the chapter meeting of our newest forming Chapter. It was a beautiful ride even though it rained some on the way.  We met at the Woodwind Restaurant. There were 18 of us there.  It was a great meeting and Jackie gave a great message.  message.  It was so good, she was asked to be the chaplain of the chapter.  Everyone was so nice there.  Bill and I got pizza.  We left after the meeting and drove to Alpena.  It rained all the way and really started pouring out when we got to our hotel.  We checked in and the hotel was just celebrating a year of being open.  It was the Hampton Inn and was so nice.  We read our Bibles and did our prayer books.  

We called Roy on our way and sang happy Birthday to him.  

Then Marie was sharing a testimony and we lost our signal.  We called Marie back when we got to our hotel.  

I finished my blog and went to bed.
