Around Stout

Walked around Stout

Past the Astrodome, a big name for the softball field the church owns

Nice to be out in the crisp air



Checking out the fire hall

Hebrew written on the skin

You can see that Olga cnd Stephen have a love for the Bible in its Jewish context



Write the word on your doorpost

Wear zitzit, only Christians have the blue
They believe that the Messiah has come
Be Strong and courageous 


For with the Lord there is steadfast love and great with Him is redemption

Travel to Iowa

We had a good day to travel

We flew with American Eagle

We did get de-iced

The Chicago airport has pretty decorations 

Today Gwen is working on her Christmas cards

Olga on the service

Stephen is adjusting the clocks to current time, it threw us off because it is an hour difference with Ontario already

Trusses

 
Coming home from Coffee-Break it was good to see the crane up
 
 
Rien took these and the next picture from the tractor
 

A big block put in place
 

 
Fitting the last piece in this giant puzzle

 
Slowly letting it down

 
Brush away some of the snow

 
It is more dangerous now with snow

 
Even the geese were all going south

 
Rien brought some more steel

 
not to warm on the open tractor

 
 
a good picture to see where the new piece is
