| Janet, Ewe, Becky These are the "local" Loopers (LCMS homeschool e-list). Janet is about 1 1/2 hours and Becky is about 20 minutes away from me. They were both thrilled to have a Looper move so close! Janet's husband had to miss a football game to come to the service, but they enjoyed the service and stayed to eat afterwards. Becky's two children were real troopers to sit through a long afternoon service for a pastor they never met before. Becky's husband was out of town for the weekend so she was on her own with her children. It meant a lot to me that two Loopers I never met before took the time to come to the installation. Janet's children are older, but I still hope to be able to get together with her occasionally. I really look forward to getting Becky's kids and the Lambs together as her children are just a few years older than the Lambs. It's wonderful to already have local friends when we first moved here. |

| The pastors at the installation The most familiar one (for Higher Things participants) is probably Rev. Timothy Pauls. Ram knew the names of a couple of other pastors from the circuit and looks forward to getting to know them better. Rev. Pauls was very happy to see Ram return to ID. |

| Ram with Ewe's dad, who preached for the installation. Ewe made Ram's stole for his Ordination Ewe's dad's stole was a gift from a deaconess in Thailand We had to hurry to take photos after the service. We found out our church is dark and photos are a challenge. I miss that part of our last church, photos with lots of sunlight through the stained glass windows. Following the installation service there was a potluck with meat provided by the church and a birthday cake for Ewe. It was nice to have some time with our family and friends after the long day of church and Sunday School in the morning and the installation service in the afternoon. There was some miscommunication between Ram and Ewe so we thought we had camcorded the installation service, but a new "tape" was not put in. We were just glad to see that the camcorder had not taped over the last thing recorded. It would be nice to have that service recorded, but it wasn't as bad as if we would have messed up recording something important to the Lambs. Lamb 2 and 3 slept through most of the installation service and Ram's mom helped Lamb 1 pay attention through the long service. |

Nice to see a picture of Becky - she looks familiar, but I don't think we have ever met. I'm curious...why is Pastor Tom not in the picture? Or are those only the pastors who participated in the service? Wish I could have seen your families - maybe next time they're in town.
Yay! I made it onto a blog! Ha ha. It was great to meet you. Sorry we couldn't stay for the dinner. I hope you are settling in nicely. It was so fun seeing both my former (Rev. Pauls) and current (Rev. Reeder) pastors participating in the installation. They are such a blessing to our family, and I think your husband will enjoy being colleagues with them. Have a blessed Advent!
