November 15, 2013

   I don't know where the time is going!  Almost 3 months since I've been here in Cut Bank.  Lots of great things are happening, and I feel SO blessed.  Here's just a little glimpse of my recent adventures here in the wild west!


Day 67:  Snow!!  Funny, Montana weather is so bipolar.  One day we get slammed with 8 inches of snow, the next day we get what's called a Chinook (warm air coming from over the mountains) and it's 50 degrees out, and the snow is gone.  Kinda reminds me of New England, in that it's very unpredictable :)




Day 69: Dental screenings at the elementary school!  Screened over 200 kids...love my job!  It was so fun to see the kids bundle up for recess in the snow.

Nemo and Elliot, my trusty oral health education buddies


Day 70:  Since I arrived in August, my church has been working very hard on a live drama to be presented on Halloween night (picture like a live Nativity...that's what we were formatted as).  The basic story line was 4 teens who are killed in a drunk driving accident and where each one of them goes when he/she dies.  I was really excited to be a part of the "production".  However, Cut Bank being so small, I really didn't think we were going to have many people come.  It was an "O ye of little faith" moment when over 300 people attended and heard the Gospel clearly presented!

Day 72:  Our youth group put on a HUGE yard sale to raise money for our trip to Acquire the Fire next month.  Over $1600 raised! :)  I enjoyed my role as babysitter as people shopped for bargains.

someone got a little sleepy :)

Day 76: made the paper!!  Check out the article at http://cutbankpioneerpress.com/articles/2013/11/06/cut_bank_pioneer_press/news/doc527a6d0f41f13038982398.txt

   Tomorrow I'm looking forward to going to the Parade of Lights in town.  They've decked out the town with Christmas lights, and there will be floats and stuff.  Should be fun!  However, I think what I'm most excited about is the fact that in about a month I'll be with my family!!!! :)
   Love to all!


Let 'er Buck!
