Ma-rah-ho! (hello)
Well, hello to everyone! Happy New Year! We brought in the New Year over here with the occasional person being sick... usually myself, Karina, Blair or someone with a random headache or stomach flipping. Never the less, we are all on the way up again.
The sun is real bright again here today. And since there hasn’t been any rain for a few days, we’re all hauling a little extra water for cleaning and chores, etc. Yay for some good ol’ hard work.
As much as the water hauling is recreational time for us, we have had a couple times to play soccer. Lol, I don’t think that the people here are necessarily a WHOLE lot better at soccer than us, but they all have so much more energy and endurance. They run, we run.... then they run, and we jog... then they run and we walk... and then we lie the grass exhausted... and they wonder why we tire out so quickly cause they were just getting warmed up.
Our regular weekly ministries have been on hold a little for this week because of the holidays. We’ve been doing kid’s stuff in churches on Sunday. Tomorrow, Sunday, we’re going to be going to two churches. One in the morning and one in the afternoon. We’re going to be absolutely zonked by the end of the day. Church here is usually a minimum of 2.5 hours. The longest we’ve been to here has been about 4 hours. It’s very interesting... ^_^
Anyways, we’re keeping busy over here and we are really thankful for your prayers and encouragement. We were able to talk to a good number of you on Skype. Thanks for that! For those who we can’t talk to face to (proverbial/digital) face, merry new year and thank you all for supporting us with prayers and encouragement and money wise.
Well, farewell for now... :P I’ll get some more pics up soon! :D
Grace and Peace
James
*PS... thanks for everyone who held out chocolate on the Skype videos... it really helps us think about chocolate a lot less.... (note the extreme sarcasm) lol... we’re going to be eating chocolate sometime in England or Canada.... :)
