Katrina

What a busy and exciting weekend we had. Milan and the kids juiced more oranges on Saturday. Katie Germann came about 4pm for the weekend. Then we had testimonies at church. The kids all went to the Gassers. The Beer kids came too. They said they had fun and all got along. We were at church from 6:30PM-11:00PM....yep, that's a long time for me to sit!!!

Then Sunday was a special day for Milan's sister, Katrina, as she was baptized. Their were 3 others with her. Roxanne Gerber, Justin Rufener & Caleb Beery. I think church was as full at it's been in a long time. I would say it would be safe to say over 1200 people there. For dinner they served 711 people!!!! Most of Milan's family was here (not Denise, Steven, Emil & Angie). It was another long day at church but we are so happy for Katrina and her decision to live for God!! The kids love watching baptisms!!

After dinner we went to visit Grandma Ingold in the hospital still with pneumonia. They will do another x-ray on Monday and if the pneumonia is better they will send her back to the Nursing Home. She looked a little puffy but seemed to be in good spirits. She is always excited to see the kids...who manage to push buttons on her bed, sanitize their hands 100 times and open up all the cupboards in the room and ask lots of questions!!!

And today is my 33rd birthday. Yep, getting old!! Milan says he would take me out to dinner. (We ate at church!) The kids all made me cards and told everyone they seen. We went to Gpa & Gma Hartzler's for root beer floats. Troyers and Pelfrey's came.

We were planning on coming last weekend, but it didn't work out.

I heard it was packed! I also heard it was long :) My mom said it was the best baptism meal she has ever had!
