Well, we can pester you a little bit longer! We'll have the internet and the phone until the 7th. Still trying to get the power to make the move. Shredding duplicate copies of our manuscripts that we kept in case of emergencies to generate power. We cannot believe some of the things that we used for scrap paper, letters from members of congress like Joseph E. Brennan, Olympia J. Snowe, George J. Mitchell, and William S. Cohen. That's what's great about America, the access we have to our rulers. No other citizens in the world have it as well. We're keeping the pages with their signatures and we're also getting a few half sheets for art work. God has such hopes for my art work and I really don't think it's that much. But anything produced on the backs of parts of these letters is going to be extremely powerful. I so wish we would come across the letters from the people we lost to Heavens Gate! But those are gone. I'd recognize them in a moment though, because they were on very distinctive paper.
There's one problem for this trip though we're not going to be able to solve, a courier/protector. We're going to be extremely vulnerable once we leave the power source here in Bismarck, and until we get to Ellsworth. I will not be able to use my powers at all, and that's going to leave us open to attack. Sure wish we could find some young lady that would travel with us and help us navigate. I wouldn't want the creatures of Darkness to get us confused and put us in the wrong place. This is going to be a new experience traveling without my powers, but we have no choice.
Oh, my sister doesn't have a bed any more in the extra room, so Caylee's bed's going to have to go after all. Elgard's going to help us load, but I wish we had a couple of more strong backs.
I can't believe how fast these things can change. I have been in misery for days. All of a sudden yesterday afternoon the swelling went down, the pressure seemed to go away and the pain lessened by dramatic levels. I'm still not doing that great, but I'm doing a hell of a lot better. And my pants are falling off! I really do seem to be losing weight! The only concern with my last visit to the doctor is my sugar levels are elevated. But that often happens when I'm injured.
That's about it for today but we will keep you advised on progress. Hope you guys had a good Thanksgiving. We ate whole wheat biscuits for lunch and Elgard took us to one of our favorite restaurants for Thanksgiving dinner. He's certainly helping to stretch our food budget. Elgard took us to our favorite buffet Wednesday. Wasn't very crowded, no children came in until we were leaving. But one little girl was playing giggles with me, and she was adorable! Some things just make your day!
Made a small mistake. Life is full of them! We'll probably be leaving the 14th not the 15th. I thought the 14th was a Sunday but it's a Monday and we would never be able to park the truck and load it with all the kids in the high school. They may be on Christmas break but we can't risk it. Sometimes a whole mess of them show up for practice and stuff and the street is still packed.
Still wish we were headed for California! It really isn't too late, won't be until the day we actually head east. If a sponsor should arrive with the funds we need, we could easily change course and God would be delighted!

I was discussing with God this morning where the best place for us to live would be in Ellsworth. God said "The ideal place would be in the church behind city hall. The center of The Holiest Of All, most of the time, is directly above their cemetary. If there was an apartment in that that they would let us use for my earthly residence, that is where We would have the greatest opportunity for success. Otherwise than that, as close to it as possible. The downtown area would be preferable. But the closer to the Portal we could reside the more power we would have."
I then asked God "Who's the strongest female aspect in the area besides my sister? Is there any possibility we might reach her and get her to be a courier/protector?" God laughed. "There is only one," he remarked. "Remember the female police officer you had trouble with some years ago? Because of her proximity to The Holiest Of All she has become one of the strongest in the area. If you were to get her to serve as a courier/protector to help bring you to Maine the chances of Our success would be very high." "You're kidding!" I remarked. God smiled and answered "Demetrius, you know, like yourself, I never jest!"
Life is so unfair, so bitter sometimes! The one person in the area that could help us the most is one of my most bitter enemies! Even if we were to find a sponsor who would raise the funds necessary to invite her to be a temporary protector I don't know if I could even put forth the offer. Life simply is not fair! Of course she would never agree to take my power anyway so the whole issue is moot. We're really having a hard time trying to save the human race but so many with so much power and we simply can't reach them! No wonder everything's falling apart!
Certainly hope you guys read your emails on the weekend and holidays, but couldn't wait to send this one. Bummer!
