African Trees

 

So a little creativity and some leftover paint is all it takes.
Doing projects together is what we can do, but do we do them?  Not much.  what stops us?  well... us.  Lazy? Ambition? Creative energy after the end of a day with a 4 year old Wild Thing, an 8 month old explorer, campus ministry and a list of "urgent to do" a mile long?  I think the last one is it.

Any way, a tree was born in Neo's room.

2 Core is better than 1

The joy of being back home.  Seeing students again.  Starting the Core group.  Starting another Core group in Pietermaritzburg (another campus about an hour away).  Drinking my coffee again.  Friends.  

Good to be home.

Chickenpox

No photos please!

The chickenpox are here.

After returning from the USA a couple weeks ago we had a great night with our pastor and his family.  We have come to love our church and our pastor and his family.  We love them so much that we took the chickenpox from them, or rather, we are now sharing it with them or them with us:) 

Neo's pox were minor.  Resilient little immune system.  Myles on the other hand, while tough, has just got the pox (2 weeks after exposure).  We got back from Cape Town (look at next blog for why) and found Myles with a fever, the next morning... the pox.  He is now covered with the pox!  

Myles is sure that a healthy dose of TV and glasses of water should cure him.  Pray for...err, him.

Braai Today

What a better way to reconnect with the students and launch into the 2nd semester at UKZN then with a braai!  Meat, meat, and a little bread and maize pop to go with it.

We will be launching into Experiencing God's Attributes by Warrne and Ruth Myers and catching up on the last few months of life with the Core team.

Now who wouldn't want to partake of that!?

Want to Receive a Snail Mail Letter?

A pretty picture by Kristy.

So I'm thinking of sending out a paper letter.  Kill some trees and contact everyone.  Seeing as I have no real idea who or how many of our partners read this!

Any feedback you can give would be great!

The letter would be all focused on our coming transition and maybe include a new family photo.  What do you think?  email me.

Back Home

It was a long trip home to Durban.  We left Minneapolis at 5 on Mon. got home 2 on Wed. and haven't slept well since!
