Micah: How many cookies can
I have?
Mom: One.
Micah: How many “ones” can I
have?
Mom: Tyler, how did you tooth fall out?
Tyler: Someone accidentally tied a string around it and
pulled it out.
7-16. Ryan was thrilled to finally be old enough to attend
SIM’s camp. He had a great time and
enjoyed the games the most (no surprises there).
7-17. SIM’s church planting champions came and stayed a
couple days with us. It was wonderful to
show them the work in Paraguay. They
were great listeners and very encouraging.
7.20. A friend of mine came to visit today and said that she
wants to be baptized. Praise God! The elders of the church will visit with her
and ask her to go through a baptism class.
She has been involved in youth activities and the church. She has attended my English classes and her
family has hosted 5 interns. Starting
this week, I am going to teach her English three days a week at my house.
7.23. Today I baked brownies to bring to 3 different
neighbors. It was a peace offering
really. Jeff and I needed to
apologize. Our dog was seen chasing 3
pigs. She bit 2 pretty badly and killed
one. Luckily the neighbors were very
nice about the ordeal and we only ended up paying 50mil to replace the dead
pig.
7-24. As Jeff walked into the bedroom this morning with a
cup of coffee in one hand and a cup of water in the other, who should he
spy? He saw Ginny’s hamster who has been
missing for TWO months! As Jeff was
frantically looking for a place to set his drinks down, the hamster scurried
away behind our closet.
7-25. I am so thankful my friend, Acela called me up today
to go with her to her field. She is so
gracious and I came back with a huge sack of mandioca, oranges, lettuce,
spinach and herbs.
7-25. Our team mates are leaving this week for a year of
furlough in the US. We are so very
grateful that they stopped in for one last overnight at our house before
heading up to the city. They will be
missed.
7.26. Jeff travels today lead his 3rd Timothy
Training workshop. He is expecting
14. Pray for the men who will be
memorizing Bible stories in order to share them with others.
7.28. I am so thankful for my kids’ imagination. They played outside all day today (from after
breakfast till after dinner, we even had a picnic outside because they didn’t
want to come in!). They were alligator
hunters, architects, race car drivers, sailors, store owners, adventure
seekers, chefs, and lots of other things.
7.28. Jeff came back with good reports of the Timothy
Training Workshop. Even more attended than
were expected, praise God. There were
some encouraging testimonies of how these men are using these stories to reach
family and neighbors. The Word of God is
reaching rural Paraguay and we couldn’t be more excited!
7.29. The book Mr.
Popper’s Penguins is he only book I’ve read four times. The kids still love it.
