THE HEAVILIN HERALD
NOVEMBER, 2009
 

Before we drove to Indianapolis, we drove around Shipshewana on a Sunday to see if we could catch some pictures of the Amish as they gathered for Sunday services in one of the homes. We were successful. We love driving through the Amish area. Marilyn has also become a fan of Beverly Lewis who has written many fiction books about the Amish. Between Beverly Lewis and Karen Kingsbury books, Marilyn has become a loyal customer for Amazon.

When we drove to Indianapolis, we visited family and friends. We drove to Bloomington to visit Jack and Carol Peterman. Jack works at Spring Mill State Park as an historic interpreter.

Glen’s brother George is a volunteer at the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis. The museum is the largest in the world. George gave us an ‘insider’s’ tour which we really enjoyed. Marilyn’s nephew, J.D. joined us for the tour.

Marilyn made it through her colonoscopy just fine. Most of her medical problems seem to be resolved. Her energy hasn’t totally returned yet, but we can definitely see progress.

We arrived in Peculiar, MO, about 30 miles from Matt, on October 22. The next day we drove to Branson for the weekend. On Friday evening we went to the SIX concert. SIX is a group of six brothers who sing everything acapella. They make all sounds for the background and accompaniment. It was a wonderful concert. We also attended the Dixie Stampede, the Gospel Jubilee and a concert of Jeff and Sheri Easter. Jeff and Sheri appear on the Gaither videos frequently. We attended the church where Gary McSpadden is the pastor. Gary McSpadden interviewed Marilyn when she was a guest on PTL years ago. We celebrated our 51st wedding anniversary in Branson. After a very busy day of attending a church service and two concerts, on our way home we stopped at an ice cream place where a very, very young ‘Elvis’ made an appearance.

We will be going out to dinner with Matt and Deb for Marilyn’s birthday on Wednesday. Marilyn will be speaking for two Compassionate Friends chapters in November.

Please pray for our health and safety.

In Him,

Marilyn and Glen Heavilin
