Week 1

I am sorry that I can't blog more but the internet is hard to get out here. Speaking of out here I know a lot of you have questions about where we live. We live in quads. Each family has what looks like a small apartment and they are attached by a common area in the center. Our apartment has 3 bedrooms, a bathroom and a kitchenette. We also have a full size washer and dryer. We do not have any t.v.'s and it has been really nice. We don't really have time for it with everything that we are doing. The children don't seem to miss it. There are 2 couples and 1 other family in our quad. It is beautiful out here. There is a lake and lots of hills. It is in farm area. It snowed in the middle of the night the other day. I happened to look out the window and saw it snowing so I woke all of the children up so that they could see it. I pray that it snows one more tiem in the middle of the day so that they can play in it. Target and WalMart are about 6 miles away. We can eat at the cafeteria for all of our meals. Which means I don't have to cook. Very nice! We go to classes while the children are in school. Some are your normal insurance kind of things and some teach about church planting and that kind of thing. Last week David had the flu. He was really sick until about Tuesday. Micah then got it and had to miss going to the circus on Valentine's Day with his class. He was really diappointed. Leah went with her class and took pictures for Micah. (very sweet) Emily got to go rock climbing on Friday with her class. She climbed a 54ft. wall twice. Her classmates were very impressed.

This weekend we drove up to Fredricksburg and toured a Civil War battleground. We then went to where Stonewall Jackson died. We actually saw the room and bed where he died. It was pretty neat. It is amazing that all of us are here with the amount of men that died in that war. We had a good time. It was nice to get away.

Prayer concerns for this week are: That everyone would stay healthy.
We have our first shot clinic on Friday pray for the children especially.
That we would not get overwhelmed with all of the stuff that we have to get done.
That we would get closer to God here.
That David & I would be good group leaders.
That everything would go as planned with the sell of our house. ( Feb. 29th)
