Immeasurably More: FISH DINNER

Out of the mouths of children…

Ryan: Can I have a barbarian filled doughnut? (Bavarian)

Ginny: Can I shovel the cards? (Shuffle)

Tyler: I wear shin guards so my ribs don’t get hit.

Ginny: “Can I hatch the eggs for the cake?” (crack)

Tyler: “I like my piggy class.” (P.E class)

Tyler: "Do you remember when I stuck the eardrum in my ear and broke the q-tip?" (reverse the words eardrum and q-tip)

Joshua: I love Root-beard (root beer).

Ginny: Where do people get the big inflatable Santas that they have in their yard? i looked all over the dollar store and didn't see them.

Joshua: I want to learn to play the trumpet. It looks easy.

Mom: Why do you think it would be easy to learn?

Joshua: Because it only has three buttons.

After visiting an animal park, Ginny announced that her favorite animal was, “That cute turtle we almost ran over in the road.”

Ryan: Where has dad been all day?

Mom: He’s been at the hospital taking an ACLS course to learn new medicines for saving people’s lives.

Ryan: Oh, I thought he was just wasting his time.

We were late for the wedding and got there just as the preacher pronounced them husband and wife. As we were exiting Joshua said, “This is why I like being late – the services are shorter.”

Ginny: Watch me dog peddle. (paddle)

Quotes I love

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.
Helen Keller

He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose. Jim Elliot

"The purpose of missions is not to evangelize the world. That is the purpose of the entire Christian church. The purpose of missions is to plant churches where it doesn't exist so that it can then evangelize its own world. Steve Saint

There is no pit so deep, that God is not deeper still.
Betsy ten Boom

A child's smarts can help them go places in life, but the character reflected from their soul is what will determine whether or not they do anything significant once they get there. Lisa Terkeurst

Our desire is wild because we were made for a wild God.
The Sacred Romance

If I find in myself desires which nothing in this world can satisfy, the only logical explanation is that i was made for another world." C.S Lewis

JANUARY PRAYER REQUESTS

This month, we will have an intern shadowing Jeff and visiting with me. Pray that she will bond with her host family and soak in all that God has for her.

Pray for new relationships through the 2 different English classes I'll be teaching all of January.

Jan 10-14 is the SIM youth camp. Pray that a number of
youth from San Francisco will be able to attend and have their life changed.

Jan 14 is our monthly kids’ club. Pray that more and more parents will allow their children to come and hear the Word of
God.

Pray for the first Timothy Training Jan 19-21. Jeff has been working hard to put this workshop together. The hope is to equip lay leaders to spread the Word of God throughout Paraguay using memorized Bible stories. Pray
that the men attending will have a great burden for their community and will learn how to better teach the Word of God.

Pray for the youth that come to the youth events we have at our home. This month we may show a movie or have a game night.

We are continue to provide medical care weekly in a nearby community. One family has asked us to start a Bible study in his home. Continue to pray that hearts will be open to our message.

In January, I hope to invite girls over to my house to discuss purity (a HUGE need here). It makes me nervous thinking about sharing on this topic. Please pray that their
hearts will be soft and ready to hear from me.

Jeff is working on a 28 week Bible story Bible study set. Some
stories he has written and others he has guided the believers in writing. Pray for time in the week to finish and for the believers to enjoy learning how to craft a story.

Pray that we can be purposeful and wise in our visiting. It is a vital part of our ministry, and we often find it hard to squeeze it in.

It is difficult for me to balance homeschooling, plus ministry responsibilities. Pray that we will be diligent with the tasks God has set before us.
