It’s been over ten days since our last update. Sorry about that! It’s been extremely busy over here; oddly because there’s been a lot back home to take care of. Hopefully we’ll have some good news for you later this week!
I wanted to post a couple pictures from our last trip to UB for Kim’s close of service seminar and to say goodbye to a few friends.
In this picture are our good friends Johnny, Marina, & Amy; and Patrick, Aurelia, and April. Johnny and Marina were here for four years and brought Amy back with them for this past year after having her in Canada. Johnny co-taught the Bible study to the small group leaders with me every Tuesday night for the past year. He also endured the humilation with me of being spanked on the butt with a shovel by a huge M*ngolian ogre as we scrambled over a fence after trespassing onto a really nice soccer field to throw my football around. They’ve moved back to Canada where they’ll have baby #2 and Johnny is working for their missions organization and teaching at their Bible school.
Marina was one of Kim’s partners in crime in the kitchen and they traded recipes and generally made everyone around them, especially in our Bible study, much happier. Amy was one of the smartest and coolest kids we’ve ever hung around. We’re really gonna miss her gregariousness, laughter, and when she would sing songs that she made up at the top of her lungs and with her eyes closed.
As sad as saying goodbye was, we made it more tolerable having a great dinner together at our favorite restaurant in UB called Veranda.
