Back to school... tomorrow after a 6 day weekend and most of it spent with our good friends the Canters visiting from West Kilbride. The kids had fun rollerblading, playing at the park, putting on shows, exploring, swimming, making badges and pulling every toy out during the rainy days! What fun! :) Its always worth it for some time with friends!
Oh, did we mention that LIAM was leading man in the Primary 2 program at school?! What a man! In spite of his 2 wiggly front teeth, he delivered his lines and songs very well and we were proud! They both memorized Scottish poetry for Burns day so next time you get a chance, ask them to recite it! Fantastically cultural. So far, that's the only time they have a Scottish accent I think. :)
Re: church... Don't let Marc fool you! There are many, many, many more positive comments and observations than negative! In fact, we are so encouraged all around with the growth and life there so far. David and Miranda mentioned that on visiting back again recently after the summer handover there were amazing changes. You know, sometimes the challenges are good to set before you so as to refocus and motivate on the things God puts before you.
Seriously I've been encouraged and this past week was great! We have seen some new friends come out to church as a result of the Paint Pots program, people walk off the street coming in with needs, stories and some kind of searching, some growth in the deeper study with Christianity Explored and some testimonies of salvation in the last few weeks too! In spite of Marc's comments on praying in the 'wrong spot' in communion, someone else commented that it was the most meaningful communion she ever experienced. He has been doing a fantastic job there and people keep coming so that must be a good thing and a God thing! God is doing something and in spite of us, so we are so pleased to be a part of this all for this little time.
The Kids are doing well and all sleeping like angels at the moment so off I go too!
