Happy Easter 2011!!!!!
Right now everyone is taking their Sunday afternoon nap. ;0) Another family has moved in to the Guest House. They have their embassy appointment tomorrow so they have their children with them. We met them when we came in & I think HG is a little excited about having someone else to play with. Since the other little girl left on Wed. she’s had all the attention of everyone all to herself.
Today we went to Nagash’s (from IOI) church. It’s funny in the states we have our largest attendance on Easter where they have their lowest. They were down about 20 people because of the holiday. They were all so gracious. We learned they have activities & services about 4 times a week. Can you imagine us going to church 4 times a week?
After church he invited us over to his house for a quick bite to eat & to meet his family. His wife isn’t able to attend that church with him because she can’t climb the hill during the walk to church (Paulie drove us the entire way – THANK YOU PAULIE!!!!) She walks to a church that is right by their home. Negash walks about an hour & a half just to get up the mountain to the church.
On our way to his home he took us to visit a man who had been in a bad car accident over 12 years ago. He’s paralyzed from the waist down. He lies in his bed which is in the living room. But God used that tragic event to draw him to Him. He is now a believer & teaches about 38 kids every single week there in his living room. He admits he is happier now than he ever was. We all prayed with him before leaving.
Negash asked Andy to share the pulpit with him. So, after the sermon he asked Andy to come & speak what the Lord led him to say. Andy brought it!!!!! It was fun seeing him so excited. Like we said though, it’s easy to get pumped up when you have people excited & agreeing with what you are saying. The people were on fire this morning praising the LIVING Jesus.
Tonight I guess we are just going to chill here at the guest house & probably start packing up our stuff.
Tomorrow we plan to visit Genet one last time & go shopping one last time before getting ready to get on that FOREVER long plane ride. Yep, there’s the prayer request – we are all dreading it. We fly for about 6 hours & then will have a gas up in Rome Chicago
Yesterday, we spent some time with Genet & then went shopping. We got lots of things but I have to admit I was a little disappointed with the selection. I am hoping the place we go tomorrow will help with that. ;0)
I guess that’s all for this post. We can’t wait to get home & see everybody. We miss you all. Boys I love you & can’t wait to spend some time with you. I hope you are ready for some tired parents. LOL
