— SEVEN —

Katie arrived a little earlier than usual at the bakery on Wednesday. After placing the sign asking for help in the front window of the bakery, she watched for Travis to arrive while she mixed up dough for the day's bread loaves. He had been very certain his schweschder would say yes to the job, but Katie would not count those chickens before she had a firm answer from him.

While she worked she also thought about her other worries. On the one hand, she was excited about working with Gwen. She was an exceptional young woman. She was polite and intelligent. She would be a gut addition to the bakery staff, even on a temporary basis.

On the other hand, if her bruder's suspicions were correct and she was getting into trouble, Katie worried that her working at the bakery could be a very bad idea.

Katie needed someone she could depend on in Freida's absence; someone who would kumme in to work on time, someone who could keep their mind on the job at hand, someone who could keep orders straight and keep customers froh; someone who would be an asset to them all.

Who could that person be?

Gott will send us the person we need.

She was pulled from her thoughts by the sound of the bell over the front door as Freida came in. The sweet sound of her freind singing put a smile on Katie's face—despite her worries over Gwen . . . and Gwen's bruder.

“Is our new employee here yet?” Freida nearly sung out the words and Katie shook her head in answer.

“She will be in school this morning, Freida. Travis said he would make certain she came to the bakery straight after school.”

Freida made a little “hmm” sound in the back of her throat before speaking. “Well, I don't know about you, but I am excited about it.”

Katie decided that now would be a better time to voice her concerns to Freida—before Travis arrived for the day. “Aren't you the least bit worried about what Travis said?”

“What, that his schweschder has been getting into trouble lately and does not want to talk to him about what she is doing with her time?”

When Katie nodded, Freida went on. “Nee, I am not worried. She is a teenager. You have bruders and schweschders. How often do they tell your mamm and dat everything they are doing when they are not at home, especially during their rumschpringe?”

It was odd for Katie to think of her own bruders and schweschders getting into trouble, but she had to admit that Freida had a point.

“So, you think it will be all right?”

“Jah, I do. I think she will do a gut job. And who knows. . .” She shrugged and then went on. “Perhaps this will help with the rest of it too. Giving her responsibility can only be a gut thing, jah?”

“Jah.” That was certainly true. Responsibility usually helped teenagers to grow up and act more responsibly.

“I hope Mrs. Simpkins is all right with this.
