Today was kind of a tough day. Paul had been gone overnight on a trip for church, and,of course, I didn't go to bed early enough. Faith and Hope are working on speeches for 4-H Demonstration Day on Saturday, and we still have a lot of work to do.

And then our youth minister announced that he is leaving. I've known since Monday, but the youth didn't know until tonight. I know God has great plans for him and for us, but it's still sad when someone leaves. Faith also is sad. He is the only youth minister she has known.
