being stuck in bed.” Lindsay pushed her prayer covering ribbons behind her shoulders. “She wants to get up and take care of the kinner , but I reminded her she said the time will pass by quickly.”
    “And I was wrong,” Rebecca repeated. “Time isn’t passing by quickly. A few days feel more like a few weeks.”
    Daniel looked at Rebecca with a tender expression as he touched her shoulder, and Lindsay wondered if she should leave so her aunt and uncle could speak in private.
    “It will pass by quick enough, mei liewe ,” Daniel said. “Before you know it, you’ll be complaining the newborn boppli isn’t allowing us any sleep.”
    “I hope so.” Rebecca touched his hand and then smiled at Lindsay. “ Danki to both of you for reminding me this time will pass. The Lord has wunderbaar gut plans for our family in the future.”
    “That’s very true.” Lindsay started toward the door. “I’ll go finish cleaning up the kitchen.”
    “Wait,” Rebecca called. “You don’t need to leave.”
    Lindsay stopped in the doorway while Daniel moved to the other side of the room. “I thought you and Onkel Daniel might want some time together. I just wanted to check on you. Do you need anything?”
    Rebecca shook her head. “No. I’m fine, danki. ”
    Lindsay glanced at her uncle, who was sitting on a chair while pulling off his socks. “ Onkel Daniel, would it be okay if I go to the youth gathering tomorrow night?”
    “Of course,” Daniel said. “Why wouldn’t it?”
    Lindsay’s expression became serious. “That would mean you’ll have to care for the kinner and put them in bed.”
    Daniel grinned. “I believe I can handle mei kinner , but I can always ask Rebecca for advice if I get confused.”
    “I think you can figure it out, Daniel,” Rebecca said, readjusting the pillow behind her head. “You’re a smart man.”
    He chuckled. “I’m glad you still believe that, Becky.”
    Lindsay fiddled with the seam on her bib apron. “Do you think I could visit the bishop tomorrow? Maybe I could go see him before the youth gathering?”
    “That would be fine. I’m froh you’ve decided to do it.” Daniel smiled at her.
    “What are you two talking about?” Rebecca looked confused. “Why do you need to see the bishop?”
    “Tell Rebecca what you shared with me at breakfast a couple of days ago, Lindsay,” Daniel said.
    “I want to ask the bishop if he’ll allow me to be baptized with mei freinden this fall,” Lindsay said, leaning on the doorframe. “I’m going to go meet with him and see if he’ll let me make up the lessons I’ve missed like he did for Aenti Miriam when she was baptized.”
    Rebecca’s expression brightened. “That’s wunderbaar. ”
    “I think it’s a gut idea to visit him Sunday afternoon,” Daniel said. “I’ll take you over to his house on the way to the youth gathering. I can get mei mamm to come and watch the kinner while I’m gone. I’m certain she’d love to visit with the kinner and Rebecca.”
    “That sounds perfect.” Lindsay’s stomach fluttered at the thought of speaking to the bishop, but in her heart, she knew she had to do it. It felt right. All of her doubts about joining the church had dissolved after her visit to Virginia Beach. This was the path God was leading her down.
    “I’m so very froh to hear the news, Lindsay,” Rebecca said, reaching for her hand. “Your freinden will also be excited.”
    “Danki.” Lindsay held Rebecca’s hand for a moment and then gestured toward the doorway. “I’m going to go check the messages. I was thinking of mei schweschder today. If she hasn’t called me, I’d like to call her and see how she’s doing.”
    “Be certain to tell her hello for us,” Rebecca said. “And come back to say gut nacht before you head to bed.”
    “I will.” Lindsay padded down the hallway, descended the stairs, and grabbed a flashlight by the back door before heading out across the rock driveway to the small shed. She
