This morning, I woke up at 8:00 A.M. After waking up, I went downstairs, where I made some toast and hot cocoa for breakfast. After breakfast, I did not really do much for the rest of the morning. The Ruckmans had left to do some shopping and do a few different things. I decided to stay at home and relax.
Yesterday’s activities must have worn me out because I rested quite a bit today. At 1:30 P.M., I decided to heat up some of the leftovers from last night. Just as I was finishing, the Ruckmans got back. After I had finished helping them unload the groceries, I added my condiments to my burger and enjoyed my lunch. After lunch, I went back up to my room.
Missionary on Fire Podcast
Preserving the Legacy of Faithful Missionaries
The Missionary on Fire podcast features interviews with veteran missionaries, classic sermons from the field, and stories of God’s faithfulness across generations. If you love the heart behind these stories, you will love the podcast. New episodes regularly.
I pretty much stayed in my room until I got a text from Bro. Ruckman saying there were two oatmeal, chocolate-chip, raisin cookies with my name on them. I got down there as quickly as I could. Mrs. Angie has been having a hard time with the stove because it needs a new part and is not working properly. So, today we were able to have a new stove delivered to the house. I was able to help Bro. Ruckman install it; then, I went up to my room, turned the ac on, and cooled off for a little while.
Once it was getting close to supper time, I made my way back downstairs. Bro. Ruckman grilled some pork chops, while Mrs. Angie made scalloped potatoes in the new oven. Everything was delicious!!! After supper, Bro. Ruckman and I did some furniture rearranging because Bro. Ruckman had gotten Mrs. Angie a new recliner for Christmas. We had to give it to her a few days early because it was going to be a pain to try to keep Mrs. Angie from seeing it.
Once we had given her that gift, Bro. Ruckman worked on wrapping some other gifts. I was able to talk to my brother for a while while he was out fishing on his new kayak. It was good to get to talk with him. Once I finished my phone call with him, I turned my water heater on. While I am waiting for it to heat up, I am typing the blog. Once I am done, the water should be ready; then, I will get cleaned up and be off to bed.
