We were out of internet for three weeks...or maybe it was more. So happy to be back on again.
I have been wondering how I was going to get our garden in. My dads tiller has been sitting all winter. It has bad gas in it now. I know if he were here it would have been taken care of already. It has been at the shop for awhile but they are so busy. I worried and worried about it but one day Wally Bergeson from the ward came with his BIG plow and plowed the garden for us. The sound of the tractor made me think of my father and all the hard work he did in the garden. I cried........
I can now plant my garden. I have alot of ideas of what I want to plant. The weather has scared me a bit but I think it is time. Dad always said after Mothers Day we should be safe.
I am so thankful for the amazing people in this ward. They are constantly serving and helping and loving. Couldn't ask for anything more.
To repay the Bergesons for their help we decided to spend an FHE weeding their gravel. They had weeds that needed to be pulled from the gravel driveway. We were trying to repay them but they came out with cinammon rolls and a bunch of items for our kids.....a hat for Ethan. A jacket for Zachary. A camo jacket for Caleb. Then she went back in and grabbed two dolls for the girls........with clothes. I tried to tell them that we were there to help them not take from them. Didn't stop them.
Then Caleb got all excited when he saw that the camo jacket has the name Uhlman on it. Kind of funny. Only one letter added to that and it was our name. We couldn't believe it. We mentioned it to them because it was so ironic. And can you believe Sister Bergeson??????? She took the jacket inside and used her sewing machine to sew on the letter. I tried to tell her over and over that we would just use a marker. She refused to listen to us.
These are the kind of people that live in this town. Just constantly doing for others. They are such a great example to me and my family. My dad just LOVED these people........and their kids...ofcourse.
I did get a picture of him in his tractor. I just haven't loaded it on this computer. If I remember I will add it...but it might be awhile.
