Our Trip to Jeffersonville, Indiana

 Recently Brother Joseph held Jubilee meetings at the tabernacle in Jeffersonville, Indiana. 

We drove out for the first meeting on Saturday night.  Sunday morning there was another service.

 

  Sunday afternoon we went out to eat with some friends.

 

After lunch we went to visit Brother Steve and Sister Karen.
 



Bro. Gene and Sis. Violet from Idaho originally from the Congo

 

 Monday afternoon before church we went to the Kaptains house for lunch.

 

 

Sis. Rachelle and Sis. Shawn

Their coffee bar is sooo cool!

 

 At church Monday night. 

We visited Brother Branham's grave on Tuesday afternoon.

 



 

I thought this was a cool shot of the bridge over the Kentucky River.

 

..."hmmm, should I jump in for a swim?" :)

 

 

The last church service was Tuesday night.  After we finished visiting with our friends after church(around midnight) we started the drive home.  We got home late Wednesday morning.  Guess what we did on Friday afternoon?  We flew back out to Indiana!  Find out why in the next post....

 

 

Essential Oils & Woodworking

 I have enjoyed using essential oils for a little over a year! 

So when it came time for us to choose a topic to teach the homeschool club, essential oils it was!

 

We started with a little lesson.  Essential oils are not just a fad. 

 Did you know they are mentioned over 200 times in the Bible?

 

We bought the oils on the rack from the Garden Tomb in Israel.

 

The girls are working on baking soda ornaments with cinnamon essential oil added.

 

 

 

 We shredded bees wax and added a few other ingredients on the stove top to make our own lavender lip balm and chap sticks.

 

 

 

 

We made candy cane  peppermint scented Epsom salts layered with red mineral salt.

 

We made essential oil room spray.  If you use a good quality witch hazel instead of water the scent lasts longer.

 

 

We made lavender lip balm, cinnamon ornaments, sweet orange soap, room spray, candy cane bath salts, foot spray, and lavender dryer bags.  We also showed different ways to package their projects in case they wanted to give them as presents.

 

 

 

While the girls were busy inside, Aunt Melissa was busy teaching the boys in the garage making log pencil holders and wood burning wood covered books.
