Happy New Year everyone! I pray everyone had a safe and pleasant New Year celebration? I have to be honest, if there was ever a "grinch" award for New Year, I probably would have won it this year. With Christina feeling pretty crummy, I decided to stay home and pretty much had an ordinary night - nothing special :)
Things have been pretty good lately, even with half the team off in Kyrgyzstan (which I FINALLY learned how to spell ...) Church went surprisingly well last week and it wasn't as stressful as I assumed it would be. We kept it pretty simple with the worship so I was able to fit everything in the taxi both on the way and back. When Christina and I returned we even had this great taxi driver who even helped me with carrying some of the church supplies up to Jon's place.
We finished off the last few verses of 2 Thessalonians this weekend ... mostly about continuing on through hardship and difficulties. Zhenya did a great job teaching! I'll be teaching this next week, but it will be a topical study and I am having trouble deciding what to teach. Tomorrow morning will be my first day I can sit down and put stuff on paper so we'll see how that goes. So far, I've been praying about a topic related to, "Why do you believe what you believe" ... basically about believing in the absolute truth rather than the perceived truth.
Not much else to write about really. Tonight we went over to some good friends' house for dinner and had a wonderful time just hanging out and talking. Leah enjoyed her sled ride both to and from ... she seems to prefer sledding over going in the stroller. Honestly, I'll really miss our friends while we are in the USA, it is like leaving family behind just like when we have to leave the States ... guess that means we'll be doing a family transfer :)
Still no pics to share - sorry.
Spirit of God, descend upon my heart
