Nicole displayed her science project at the school's annual science fair. "Nails for Breakfast, Anyone?" showed how the iron in Total cereal is attracted to a magnet when the cereal is soaked in warm water for a bit. Fascinating!
As the end of school approaches (May 27), Nicole is gearing up for another summer of 4-H. She's signed up to participate in the gardening and drawing clubs.
Outdoor gardening in Pioche will have to wait another month. Even though it's a beautiful, sunny day in Pioche today (about 68 degrees), we had snow this past week with more chilly weather in the forecast by next weekend. (Don't tell Jane's parents! They're heading this way in the next couple weeks with their home in tow.)
In other news, it looks like Jane will be teaching again next year (barring any further layoffs by her district). The teacher Jane was hired to replace for this year has chosen not to return to district employment which leaves an opening for Jane. The principal has asked Jane to teach a 1st/2nd combination next year. She's never taught a combo class and knows of its challenges; however, God knows how to do this and she is asking for His wisdom as she prepares for this task this summer. We thank the Lord for this job for another year.
We are seeing the Lord work in the life of our church. A couple recently told us they've begun to read their Bible daily after the sermon series on the importance of discipleship. We've also welcomed some new faces in our midst. The ladies' Bible study on the book of Daniel is about to conclude but is leaving participants hungry for the next one to begin in the fall.
Thank you for your continued prayers for us and for the ministry here.
