We had a wonderful time with the young mennonite minister and his family. They have 8 children, two oldest are twins. The youngest is just 4 months old! We were picked up on friday by David Mast's folks and ate out on the way up. Got there at David's about 9pm and stayed up until probably 11. We had wonderful devotions up there and just throughly enjoyed the weekend. Both of us borrowed cape dresses to wear on Saturday and Sunday. I found out I was the same size as the twins, just not as tiny! lol. I throughly enjoyed the service this morning. Women on one side and the men on the other. It was interesting to kneel for prayer since we have never done this in the Nazarene church unless one was at the altar. They have church school in the basement and we do plan on going back up in November. Probably during Thanksgiving week...and since Naomi's birthday falls in that week (2 days before Thanksgiving), we will indeed be celebrating it up there. They are much closer to Great Falls than Missoula, so there may indeed be a move in the near future. We are awaiting God's timing. Prayer and devotions were wonderful and will also continue to be here at home. I felt blessed the whole time we were up there. Naomi was given two cape dresses and she has agreed to wear dresses to school. A headcovering was given to her also that she plans to wear and its an oddly shaped oval type with a snap on each end to go in the back of the neck to pull her hair up a bit. I will need to copy that pattern on it and see about making her some more of them while I'm down here in Missoula. I didn't learn the mennonite way of putting my hair up yet cause I didn't realize I would need my hairnet. I will learn next time and hopefully will have a kapp by then .Vaughnde Edwards
