So Sorry!

I won't be able to post for a while. I'll try to get caught up later! We are out of our apartment and staying in a friend's place. (It's been really nice because there isn't a lot of dirt AND there's a lovely pool!) We'll literally be getting our visas only a couple of days before leaving due to some misinformation. You can be praying for my stress levels!! Appreciate your prayers!!

Farewells Part 1

As part of the farewell Party held for Matt on Friday some of the high schoolers put together some funny pictures of him. These are just a few of our favorites. This played as people were waiting for the party to begin. One can never say high schoolers aren't creative!

In Church

(This post is out of order, because it's a quick one!) For over 10 years we have been going to Emmanuel Evangelical Free Church. Every Sunday I've always admired this auntie's hair. She always has it twisted up so cute and always has a coordinating flower in her hair. Sometimes just the little things stand out when you're leaving a place. Also on Sunday a whole family was baptized. The mother and father were deaf, but their child are not. (Our children were very interested in the translation process). I taught the oldest daughter in Sunday School many years ago! How encouraging to see results after the mother had prayed for YEARS!

Go Ana Go



I started letting Ana use the website Xtra Math because China and Mitike were using it. To be honest, I didn't think she'd get too far as adding seemed a little advanced. BUT, she's doing great-she's even adding twos and threes to numbers now. Today she wanted to show you all that she got 18 problems correct in a row. She was Very excited! I highly recommend this website as it helps any child learn their facts fluently (you have to answer within 3 seconds on the race the teacher part). It does go on to subtraction, multiplication, and division after they master addition. We'll be using this for many years to come.
