I enjoyed the services at the Adventist Church in Plainview, Saturday.Joe Harrison preached and Kelly Virbel taught the Bible lesson.Dr. Sandberg told me their musical group, Satisfied, was performing that evening at Ola Free Will Baptist Church. He thoughtthe time was 4 till 7 so I got to Ola at 4 and started looking for the church. I had stopped across from the drug store andwas walking toward a group of cars to try to find out where the church was. A car opulled up beside me and Dr. Sandberg says,"follow me to our house because we are not singing until 5:30."So I follow him to their lovely home andhad such a goodvisit with his wife, Jody, and little girl, Sheleah, andVivian that lives with them and works with the Spanish speaking people there in Ola.Jody showed me a short video of their son ,Jere, working in a hospital in Georgia.He does Christian work ministering to the patients in the hospital andalso helping teach Bible studies to people that come to a cafeteria in the hospital to be taught and learn about God.Then I followed Dr. Sandberg back to the church to hear the music. I love to hear Dr. Sandberg play the flute andthe harmonica. The two ladies in the group can really sing and the other musicians are good too. The combinedsound is great.

Last week I met Mr. John Young ,while eating in the Plainview, Fowler's.We talked almost 2 hours concerning our Two River School District. Interesting fellow!!

The Adventist will meet only 5 more Saturdays in the church at Plainview.

I saw Leslie Harvey and June his wife, again in Plainview's Fowler's last week. My 5th grade class at F.V. called me Miss Glenna and Leslie still does that and it takes my mind back to happy times.Leslie says, "miss Glenna you know what I said when i got out of your 5th grade class."When Ianswered "No" he said he told everybody he was going to grow up and marry his 5th grade teacher."How sweet!
