I’ve been helping my elderly/infirm spiritual mom and dad pack their belongings to move to their new home in the Gwinn area. One son came on Wednesday night to help thru Sunday, the other son came from Ohio Friday night thru Sunday morning. A brother came from their old congregation and helped as well. Their sons both had to get back home cause their both truckers and had to be back to work.
I never saw such heavy stuff being wheeled out (on dollies) of the old house and back into a new house so fast. Those guys never stopped.
O we started out with a 20 foot trailer.
Today, I am going up to their new house to pick them up so they can close on the house. I will be so happy to permanently get them away from the crazy landlady. They are thrilled.
Two days of standing/walking around and lifting was all my poor knees could take. I’m glad we didn’t have to do anymore on Sunday, they just couldn’t take much more. They (knees) needed a rest.
Than Saturday mom had a scary health issue so I took her to Marquette ER. So we were done for that day as it took forever at the ER. Turns out it was kinda what we thought it was. Worse bladder infection the ER doc ever saw.
Marquette (their now congregation) friends are already happy to have them back. At least there, (as they were in that congregation before) friends will call or even visit them and someone nearby who can take them to meetings on their good days.
They won’t be ignored.

So glad they will be in a better location. Tell your Mom I'm sorry about the bladder infection - those things are painful. Hope your knees have a chance to recover. It's nice to rejoin a former congregation.

They were in the new house one day and friends have already scheduled one night week letter writing at their house.
Huh! Never would happen at my congregation.
Sorry if I sound critical, but someone has to look out for our elderly brothers and sisters. At least that’s what Jehovah expects of us.
Distance should not matter if they are part of a congregation...20 minutes wasn’t all that far away.
