The mission is goin pretty good this week. We had a great time in Lusk on Saturday. We bucked hay for 9 hours. We didn't expect to work for that long, but they needed help for the whole day so we helped. The family was the Eatons. I took a couple of good pics. It was hard work. I would compare this to calf branding, but without the kick to the face, or the punch to the face or a boot to the head. the Eatons gave me a nickname "Strongman Anderson". The kids are like 15 and 16 and they liked it when I threw the hay bales like a shotput thrower, by twisting around. So the truck would drive around the bales and we would throw them up on the trailor and stack them. After we loaded the trailer we would load them in the barn and make stairs of hay up to the barn. One of the trips they left us in the barn and we were stranded for a little while.
The barn was really cool and was built in 1927. We picked up somewhere around 5 tons of hay. It was fun, but very tiring . That was something cool that happened this week.
Things are still dificult here, but we are pressing forward and good things will come.
Happy Birthday, Maggie!
