On Fridays, the COD kids join the CDTS class for worship. At that time, the director of our class told us that the we would be going to the Philippines. I thought it was great that the kids were able to hear it from him at the same time we did. I really want the girls to feel that they are a part of this whole adventure, not just compulsory spectators.
Tonight, before dinner, I was looking for Annalise. When I found her she was on the trampoline eating an ice cream treat she had just bought from the Internet Cafe. So much for eating a good dinner. But hey, at least it shows she has talent. How many 4 year olds do you know who could eat ice cream while bouncing on a trampoline and not end up wearing most of it? Now you know at least one.
Alayna and some of her friends became a cheerleading squad for the volleyball game we had after dinner tonight. They were so adorable - even if they did only have one cheer that they repeated over and over and over and over............ At least they did it for each member of the team - over and over and over.......
Grace,

Hello to our favorite Maxwells...very excited about your news about upcoming service. I'll be making a dash to the library today to get books about the Phillipines. You are in our prayers. Love, Mom & Dad B
ReplyDeleteOK, this is REALLY REAL now! How exciting! Is this where you thought God was leading you or did you get another surprise! Thrilled for all of you! Do you need a Nanny or housekeeper?
ReplyDeleteSaw Ann and Will at VBS. It is good to keep in touch. I am happy to report we did not lose one child at VBS in fact we grew from 11 to 14. Kids and staff had a great time, but I can echo the message of one child when she told her Mom, I can't keep coming and coming to church! There were a few more "comings" in there but I think you get the point. We are all pretty much wiped out! We get our blessing tomorrow at church to be sent to Mexico.
You can believe that we willbe studying up on the Philippines, as well.
ReplyDeleteEveryone is excited - the girls too. Not a real surprise as we considered the words we felt the Lord giving our group as we prayed. As far as a Nanny or housekeeper, just save your pennies for when the two of you do your CDTS and go on outreach.
We expect updates from Reynosa.
