they saw something real big swimming in the lake.

[surfergirl]

It was the Lock nest monstor.. He'd come to visit from MI Hell. So he started splashing and making waves......

[rocket]

and it became all to apparent that it was a beaver family having a good time.

[Good-O]

Actually, they had had the beaver, weighing approximately 80#, come ashore to eat the corn that was on the yard for the ducks that lived in the pond.

This actually happened to us - I did not know beavers would eat corn, much less come into the yard to do so. We have a large beaver dam back in the woods by the bayou but since there had been a drought they made themselves welcome in our lake.

[Greenfield]

Adam decided to take up gardening while Rick was gone.

Strangely enough, Hell MI really does have several lakes nearby.

[Good-O]

Adam was confused about the compose pile at first but....................

[rocket]

after doing some fine googling he got the drift of what to do with it. So he spread it out over the garden and mixed it into the soil.

[Greenfield]

While Rick and Jane were gone for 2 months there was also the matter of the empty downstairs apartment.

[surfergirl]

So they decided to use the spare room to as a holiday B&B to rent to the pioneers and also let the room For the C'O when they come around

a beautiful picturesque, serene, good for chilling and studying.......

[Good-O]

Rick and Jane thought the Bed/Breakfast room was an excellent idea so they decided to use it just for that but only for the COs and pioneers whenever they needed it. The reason for that is....

[rocket]

they really didn't want to charge rent but didn't want the apartment empty either, so offering it to help the CO and COW as well as pioneers also helped with security of the place and gave Adam some much needed company.

[Good-O]

Adam was so happy with that idea he thought he'd cook something from his garden but the veggies had not matured so he decided to make a cake and............

[Greenfield]

that was a disaster because Adam still had a long way to go in his domestic skills; he was too involved in Monster Truck Madness 2 with Rick. Adam was glad he put Rick and Jane's apartment to such good use while they were gone, and he looked forward to perhaps doing so again once they left for wherever they would be assigned to in a few months.

Monster Truck Madness 2 is a reference for those of you who have been with the game for a while. It's Rick's favorite video game.

[surfergirl]

So Rick the rev head. decided to get some tickets to Aussie and go to the Summer Natz in August and catch up on the District Assembly. He took Jane

along too. There was so much action and many hot wheels on display........

[Good-O]

Rick and Jane did not know how to play the video game and Adam was all too anxious to show them how when............

[rocket]

he fastened the stearing wheel to the computer table and plugged in the gas peddel and stearing wheel to the computer.

[Good-O]

They were kind enough to let Jane go first and when she did............

[rocket]

she proved to be good at the game but eventually she went end over end and rolling the truck after completing several amazing jumps.

--Accommodations--

They all returned to their respective accommodations late that night; Rick and Jane were staying with a delightful couple and their eight children, 3 dogs, 2 cats and a cockatiel. You can only imagine the bullet they dodged when they found out that the host family had a cozy little separate but attached apartment in the back that Rick and Jane could have all for themselves these 2 months. How delighted they were to find an extremely inviting "private cottage" completely stocked with all their imagination of foods along with an internet connection for Rick's notebook so they could log into jwtalk and chat but between the cockatiel screaming, the dogs barking and the kids playing in the back yard they could hardly handle it at first but eventually they either got used to it or things calmed down, they couldn't remember.

Rick and Jane enjoyed it greatly in there these past 7 weeks, but now begins the final week of schooling. Although they loved the children immensely, the experience did not modivate Jane's nor Rick's biological clock one bit, rather it all cemented the idea of waiting a long time for rug rats of their own. The experience with the host family while nice overall nevertheless confirmed to them that the Bible School for Christian Couples was the way to go.

--Sickness--

Rick and Jane were eager to finish the last week of school but Jane was coming down with a sore throat and had a bad cough so she prayed and took medicine and prayed some more and thankfully this cold was one that took only a couple of days to go through. By the second day Jane was feeling better but Rick developed the same symptoms so he did the same thing as Jane - took lots of vitamin C and drank lots of fluids.

Went for some spicy Thai HMMM! they could smell the beautiful aromas coming out as they open the door of which was a big mistake for now both of them were as sick as could be and it is now questionable if they will be able to finish the school. Strangely enough, the Thai food somehow worked to cure both of them and when they woke up that Wednesday morning, they felt perfect and ready to take on their 3rd to last day of school.

--Memories and Catching Up--

So with a note book and a brain rested to take in the great information, they were ready for anything, including some funny jokes made by the conductors, cause one was Canadian and the other A USA Moderator. "Happened at my pioneer school one was German," said Rick to his table during lunch, "ah, yes, his name was Br. Achtenschmidtberg. Good times." Jane said to Rick, "Say that again real fast three times - bet you can't."

"Achtenschmidtberg, Achtensmithberg, Austensmithberg. AHH, I give up." Rick was deluged with memories of the awesome time he had when he went to pioneer school. Some of these were the most loveable, kind, caring people he had ever met; and, of course, all the food offered during that time. Many wonderful and funny moments expecially from a Bro in a wheel chair, he made everyone touched cause he found a way to serve Jah."

Out of the blue there appeared at Rick and Jane's table at the Bible School for Christian Couples a young couple Rick and Jane had not seen in years but somehow missed all these days at school. There names are Lindy Lou and Lindy Sue. They weren't in the class but they went to the congregation in the area Rick and Jane were assigned to - Huron River - but the Greenfields didn't see them because they just returned from 2 months in Mexico doing need greater work, and they decided to pop in and surprise them. They thought it would be a good encouragement to be at their graduation.

They related some good stories, like a drug lord stop selling drugs and guns and found the only way to peace is thru God's word the true power. And a retired lawyer from the United States whose interest was sparked by the 59 U.S. Supreme Court cases from 1937 to 1953 involving the Jehovah's Witnesses. Decided to attend the very special public talk, Dan 2:44, These men really wanted to see who would take control and how God would set up a Kingdom and put an end to all these other governments. He steadily progressed, and by the time Lindy Lou and Lindy Sue had served there, he and his wife had just got baptized and was already being used in their small English congregation to handle microphones. A very humble man who also gave superb Bible readings in the School.

--Back to Hell--

And even though it felt like it was still Hell MI. Everyone hugged and clapped and kissed each other as Paul would have done, and said thanks for the encouragement and that was how at the end of the week Rick and Jane sadly said their goodbyes, and sure enough were assigned to the congregation they had come from - Gregory Congregation - to benefit them with their training for several months. The Greenfields were eager to get back to their duplex in Hell and see what ruckus Adam had caused. Well you believe what Adam had been up to.

The yard was totally different, now there was a rose garden and palm trees and hibiscus, really quite a transformation. Rick and Jane had to take a second look - was this really Paradise, no more hell? The flowers were beautiful and they were grateful they did not have to mow grass anymore for the entire yard had been paved/rocked like a desert garden. And they lived by a lake and could hear cascading water near by. The sun was shining and the birds were tweeting. But then they saw something real big swimming in the lake. It was the Lock ness monster, he'd come to visit MI Hell. So he started splashing and making waves and it became all too apparent that it was a beaver family having a good time. Actually, they had had the beaver, weighing approximately 80 pounds, come ashore to eat the corn that was on the yard for the ducks that lived in the pond.

Adam decided to take up gardening while Rick was gone. Adam was confused about the compost pile at first but after doing some fine googling he got the drift of what to do with it. So he spread it out over the garden and mixed it into the soil.

While Rick and Jane were gone for 2 months there was also the matter of the empty downstairs apartment. So they decided to use the spare room to as a holiday B&B to rent to the pioneers and also let the room for the CO when they come around - a beautiful picturesque, serene, good for chilling and studying.

The reason for that is they really didn't want to charge rent but didn't want the apartment empty either, so offering it to help the CO and COW as well as pioneers also helped with security of the place and gave Adam some much needed company.

--Relaxing Together--

Adam was so happy with that idea he thought he'd cook something from his garden but the veggies had not matured so he decided to make a cake and that was a disaster because Adam still had a long way to go in his domestic skills; he was too involved in Monster Truck Madness 2 with Rick. Adam was glad he put Rick and Jane's apartment to such good use while they were gone, and he looked forward to perhaps doing so again once they left for wherever they would be assigned to in a few months.

There was so much action and many hot wheels on display. Rick and Jane did not know how to play the video game and Adam was all too anxious to show them how when he fastened the stearing wheel to the computer table and plugged in the gas pedal and stearing wheel to the computer.

They were kind enough to let Jane go first and when she did she proved to be good at the game but eventually she went end over end and rolling the truck after completing several amazing jumps.

Now it was Rick's turn, he was an expert at Monster Truck Madness 2, his favorite game, but now they were trying out Monster Truck Madness 3.

[rocket]

"It looks exciting and a much anticipated improvement over Madness 2 but Rick had problems from the get-go from.........."

[Greenfield]

the fact that Rick is too short to use the pedals and steering wheel as the other two had used it.

[rocket]

So Rick stood up with one foot on the gas pedal of which left him off balance and catching himself with the stearing wheel was hazardous because it was only attached with a wing nut.

[surfergirl]

So Rick thought he should stop for a moment, since it was a game and he was a shorty, He ducked taped some blocks of wood to his shoes and now he could reach the petals and he fixed the steering wheel with one of Jane's hairpins.he said lets carry on with a grin on his face,

[rocket]

But the hairpin failed and the wingnut slipped and poor Rick went tumbling backward into the bosom position of Jane sittng on the chesterfield.

[surfergirl]

Rick was a fighter and an improvisor he wasn't going to let nothing. no some break downs stop him, Show he went to the boyz shed found some toys

and nuts. had a Budyweiser and now clear in the head......
