Out & About
To start off, we finally found time to rest and get our breath back. What an answered Pr. We tested out the hammocks (during a cool breeze day) that we are going to be giving to the villagers, and they worked...maybe a little too well to the point where Chris did not sleep that night.
After kicking off the week with a quick breather, we hit the ground and rock wall running. Chris was able to take some students out for some great adventures. He was able to speak on principles of faith while teaching students how to rappel from 40 meters. At the end of the day many were thankful to learn how to trust in Him and many gave thanks in Pr.
Towards the end of the week we jumped in a van with Becky's students and headed off to view the pear trees of our area. What a beautiful site it was to see white tipped trees in spring. We shared with the students how the Father shows Himself in creation. After an hour we headed to the local strawberry fields and began picking as many as we could hold in our basket. Every once in awhile we would just eat them right of the vine, or toss them to each other for some laughter.
We finished the week with Becky's new birthday present, a new bike, with gears. After it's tuning, Becky rode out on an 18 miler with her close friend...who happens to own the bike shop. It's amazing to think that you can have such deep conversations riding side by side. Most relationships take place over meals, so this will be a great challenge. This bike will be used as a ministry tool as relationships continue to develop.
We are thankful for everyone who continues to Pr for us and His work. Here are some answered Pr's:
- Chris has found a language teacher. He will have to take a few steps back because he is joining a new class; however, this is still great news.
- Becky has been feeling much better. Her stomach is getting back to normal.
As for this coming week, here is our agenda and Pr Requests:
- Chris is heading to our capital with our new partner to spend some time with some local friends.
- We were blessed to be given new phones while stateside so we are really exciting to give mama li and her husband our old iPhones. In our country these phones are still new and too expensive to afford.
- We are preparing material for our Sisters - training starts back next month. We have some good material that has come our way that we are excited to study.
- Chris is still assessing the impact of translation for one of our minority groups.
- Pr Request: Continuing to have a weekly time of rest
