The Red Cross Bloodmobile met their quota last Wednesday at the Adrian High School. If you all remember – that was a miserable snow day. The Red Cross crew and the Adrian volunteers all worked very hard. Because of the storm some appointments had to be cancelled, but there were walk-ins. The young students were a great help. The good ladies from Zion Lutheran Church served the crew a delicious meal. Your precious blood is so needed. Thank you donors and workers.
What a great article about the Bullerman family in last week’s Globe. Doug Bullerman has been involved with wrestling for 40 years. Doug Wolter from the Globe did a great job of reporting. So many of our young wrestlers went to State and won. Writer Wolter goes on to say that beside the Bullerman’s, other wrestlers came from the Wolfs, Thiers and Dorns. But for sheer numbers Bullerman’s lead the pack.
I received a great surprise Friday morning when good friend Colleen Bents from Rushmore came to have coffee. I didn’t make coffee, but was surprised when Colleen came bearing a warm coffee cake, coffee, napkins and utensils. They talked fast and furious for hours. Colleen promised the next time she would call, pick me up and we would go to the famous “Lange Café” in Pipestone. She will also pick up her mom who doesn’t drive anymore.
Colleen told me the story about the Vasquez Family who live in Worthington. About eight or nine years ago this family came from Guatemala with only a few suitcases. They found a small house to rent. Two of the adults found jobs and the four children were enrolled in school. Then on last Christmas Eve their home burned down and they escaped with only their clothes on their backs and no shoes. It didn’t take long for the good people to get together and find them a home – fix it up – and have a benefit at St. Mary’s Catholic Church. One lady from another church offered and brought all the bedding. Everyone pitched in with food, furniture, appliances, etc. The family was and still is, so very grateful. They cry every time someone comes to their “new” little house to offer something. The two adults still have their jobs in Chandler and Luverne. It is a story of love and compassion. I gave them many bath towels. After all, why does a 91 year old need all those towels? Please pray for this family. They are so humble. Thanks readers for your interest in reading this.
This reader heard the young Einck family had a great benefit. Thank God for all the great folks who gave to this dear young family. Please keep praying for this young family as they prepare for the birth of their baby and the surgery that will follow.
