Week 2

Hello again. Well week 2 or 2 1/2 is over. We had a great week. We studied anthropology and talked about worldview. Then we got to talk to people that have been in our region and we talked about the AIDS epidemic in Africa. On Thursday we were in a session about tribal religions. This was all so interesting.

It is very cold here. We had snow flurries on Thursday but no real snow to speak of. We are still praying that it would snow just one day for the children to play in. Otherwise the weather is just plain chilly. We have to wear big coats, gloves, hats and scarfs. It is very different than being in Florida.

Yesterday was our first shot day. Everyone did great! David had to get the most shots (4) and Emily had the least (1). They let me take Emily in at 8 a.m. so that she would not fret over it all day. It made it very easy for me. The nurses give you shots 2 at a time here. Believe it or not it is a lot better than one at a time. We have to go back next Friday for another round. Everyone will get 4 shots each then. Ug!

Our group has been going well. Every morning we get together for worship. We have been reading Acts as a group. House church is a lot of fun. We have been able to get closer to God and each other by doing it this way.

Thank you so much for those who wrote comments and e-mails. It was such an encouragement. Please keep them coming. We haven't gotten any mail yet. (except for Valentine's Cards) We will keep looking.

Prayer Requests: That we walk closer and closer with God.
Transition for children. (right now Micah he is having a rough week)
Friday - shots again
David has a 20 page paper due in 2 weeks

Thank you as always.
