Parent's Weekend

We had a really super weekend visiting Madylanne at her school. We all enjoyed every minute! Lots of running and hiking and some soccer and volleyball and lots o hugs!!! 

She's doing great and we are really proud of her. 

Riding the train

 

We took the train to see Madylanne and it was pretty neat, let me tell ya! We got to eat our snacks and also every so often we would look out the window and see elephants, giraffes, an ostrich, zebras...pretty cool! 

Micah is 7

We had a lot of fun helping Micah celebrate his 7th birthday on September 29th. He got the tiger he's been wanting and he got all his favorite meals...cereal for breakfast and waffles for dinner, and it looks like a fire cake for dessert! I guess 7 candles really lights up a cake!  :)

 

A blessing

 

Mark had the blessing of being able to preach at a local established church this month. Thankful to God for the opportunity to proclaim the Word of God. Thankful to God for this church family that is preaching and teaching truth.

This little hedgehog decided to help himself to the kitten's leftovers! We wisened up and don't leave leftovers hanging around anymore.

We had the honor of being able to participate in our first training at the end of September. (Our team leaders do lots of these trainings. It was just the first time Mark and I got to help a little. We wrote what we were going to say in Kiswahili and gave it a go.) 

This is a rural area about an hour from where we live. In the morning we led an evangelism training session and in the afternoon we walked from house to house sharing Jesus. There were many teams who went out to share that day. Over 40 people heard Good News and 2 said yes to Jesus!

One very memorable occasion was a father of a large family who welcomed us onto his family plot and invited all his children and extended family that was present to come and listen to what we had to share....we shared Jesus is the only way to heaven, and that good works can never be enough to get us to heaven because even one sin separates us from God. The father of the house said that even though he believed differently that they had head Good News that day. WOW. Please pray for this family and many others to hear and believe in Jesus Christ.
