05/26/2009 - Satan buffets

Mondays are our normal day off and so we really don't plan anything except our date night. For whatever reason though, none of us slept well the night before, but I think it was because I was coughing and keeping Christina up. We went to a new cafe though which was pretty nice and a welcome change.

Yesterday started off as a fairly low-key day, but that changed as things came up. Didn't sleep good again (pray about this if you think about it) as personally, I went to bed at 10pm, initially woke up at 2am, and then got out of bed at 4am due to boredom.

Then things just started getting busy and complicated as I was asked to help print and put out fliers for the basketball tournament this weekend. First we wanted some colored paper, but I couldn't find any after checking 6 or 7 shops all across town so I gave up and we printed them in white instead hehe.

Of course though, my printer stalled out after only printing 17 so that was annoying. Satan just was messing with me yesterday or something - meanie. Eventually though we got them printed up and some of the Africans came over to help put them up and we had a chance to talk with a few people while walking around. We pray people will come!

At end the day, we had prayer meeting.

David, another Markey brother and former NCAA basketball player, and a friend of his are arriving today to help us with the basketball camp/tournament so it'll be GREAT to see him again. Since the last time we saw them in college, he and his wife have had a baby so that's exciting too!

God seems to be allowing many difficulties to happen to us while we get ready for this tournament and camp so we are excited to see what will happen. I personally won't be too directly involved as Christina is the basketball player in our family so I'll get some good quality time with my daughter. However, even through Satan should buffet us, God is with us and we trust in him for the greater result.

PS - still working on getting the other conference photos.
