So one of the ways that we help out at Whetstone is having one of the boys over for dinner and spending time with them at the ranch playing disk golf or other games. On Tuesdays, I have the privilege of talking at chapel and we have staff meetings every Wednesday morning. We also take care of the staff children from time to time as needed.

This last week was Adventure Week for the newer boys and the ones who have been here were able to go home for a visit. Adventure Week lived up to its name but that is for another post. We had the job of driving to the Springfield airport to this last weekend pick up the boys back from home visits. Originally we were to pick up 3 but one of them had their flight cancelled due to weather so he stayed in the San Antonio airport overnight.

Here is one of the boys on Saturday.

And here is Kristin with the one on Sunday fresh from San Antonio.

 

On Wednesday, I helped one of the interns with his car. Right before Adventure Week he was on his way to our house to hang out but instead had a flat tire and ruined the rim trying to find cell service in order to call me for help. We were able to get his car to our house while he was gone. So on Wednesday, I drove him to Springfield to purchase a new wheel then to West Plains to buy a tire and then back to our place to install said tire and wheel. In all, a 212 mile adventure complete with a thunderstorm for most of the journey.

 

We are so blessed to be here and to be able to help out as needed.

Thanks for perusing,
