We finished off the last 21 chickens today. Isaac and Priscilla had the "fun" job of chopping off heads, gutting, and this year we skinned them all.
Caleb, Miriam and I cut them up - when Miriam wasn't eating them anyway :) Naomi bagged them. Mostly we froze them cut up and cooked the carcasses for soup, canning, or freeing the meat after they were deboned. I am so glad to have that done!! Now we can work on packing for our trip. Just Arthur, Hosanna and I are going, by air. Should be lots of fun! Everyone else is going to be busy at home so the time will go fast for everyone.
Please pray for:
My brother-in-law that the doctors will be able to help him with a health issue.
For a baby we know in the hospital with pneumonia.
For Isaac as he looks for God's direction.
For Hosanna to remember what she's learned and for travel mercies.
Thanks!
