April was another very full and busy month!
My dear friend, Ivanna, got to come visit me for 2.5 days at the beginning of April! We went on a walk together the first evening she was here.
Looking at waterfalls near our road.
It was so special to get to spend some time with this girl!
On Sunday, we had the Stroud family over for dinner, as well as Rev. Martin, who was the preacher for revival at our church that week.
Sunday afternoon, we went to GBS to pick up a girl there and go for a walk with her.
We went to Eden Park and enjoyed the beautiful afternoon.

We have some pretty steep hills around here!
Monday morning after Ivanna and I had breakfast on the deck, we headed to the Creation Museum.
We had lunch on the patio there at the CM. It was a beautiful day!
As well as going through the museum, we thoroughly enjoyed walking through the gardens too!
A kind lady offered to take our picture for us.
Then a museum-worker took a picture for us when we were about to leave, too.
That night we had a couple other people at our house for supper and games, as well as Ivanna.
Beautiful spring flowers!
One evening, my dad and I went up an unknown road to see what we could see, and we found these deer crossing the road.
Beautiful blossoms!
Jeffrey and Lesa came to visit us for a few days! We enjoyed some picnics on the deck.
One evening, we had Bro. Hyatt over for supper and then played some dominoes with him. We enjoyed being with him and hearing stories of how God has used him in his prison ministry.
One evening was the last Women of Worth Ladies Meeting till it starts up again next semester.
One Thursday after work, Mother and I drove to Kentucky Mountain Bible College to pick up Lesa's sister Emily, for her to come visit over Easter weekend.
It was a gorgeous drive! So many red-bud trees were blooming!
We really enjoyed having Emily with us for a few days.
We went on a walk in our neighborhood and found a too-beautiful-to-be-real blossoming tree!
It was so so beautiful!!
Our church had an Easter party for the bus and church kids.

Easter Sunday it rained very hard when we got out of church. I took this picture of our pastor and his wife trying to get to their house without getting soaked. :)
This year we went to IHC in Dayton, OH. This was the first time Daddy, Mother, or I have ever been there in person. We've always watched online from Colorado.
Bro. James Plank and Bro. Sankey

Our assistant pastor and his wife, the Strouds, got to sing.

Lesa's family got to come from Iowa for IHC too!
We went out to eat together for lunch at Dewey's pizza.
Two meals, we ate in the Lesa's family's RV with them.
Randy and Joy's family came from South Dakota too! It was so good to see them again.
Here, Joy, Jonathan, and Jewelyn are browsing the booths in between services.
I met a new friend at IHC, Lily, who knows sign language. Here, Lily and I were visiting with our friend Merilee, who also knows sign language. :) We got a chance to all sign together.
Elizabeth visiting with our friend, Mikah.
Jonathan and Jewelyn at IHC.
More visiting in between services.

After IHC was done, Randy and Joy's family came to spend one night with us and go to the Ark Encounter.

April 25th was the first young ladies' Bible study at the Stroud's home.
We look forward to taking part in that once a month!

I went on a bike-ride one afternoon after work. We've had some beautiful summer days already this spring! This is what a lot of roads around here are like...
Wildflowers along the road on my bike-ride.
On April 26th, I got to spend part of my off day with the Harms family. The kids and I enjoyed the beautiful day by playing outside for a few hours. We had a delightful time!

See you next month! Have a blessed May!
